Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
1. i tried working with powers, i.e 1994[tex]^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex] and then simplifying. i couldn't reach anything.
2. I found the total time as 7 lines. (4 lines for the first singer and then 3 lines after him for the last singer). The only time all the four all singing together is when the first singer sings the last line.
my answer [tex]1/7[/tex] is not ofund in the choices.
3. I calculated the maximum change as $1.00 when he either buys 63 buns (7 for $1) or when he buys 60 buns ($1.80 the dozen) But i think it was a bit tooo easy.
4. I don't know how to proceed
5. Again, I dunno
What is more important to me is learning the methodology to tackle these problems, so I need great help. thnks
