MHB Needed some help with this organizational problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around organizing nuts, screws, and bolts for a K-12 assignment. It is suggested to group the smaller items, nuts and screws, separately from the larger bolts for easier management. For the second question, the user struggles with using Desmos for a number line, as the platform no longer supports this feature effectively. A previous version of Desmos is mentioned as a potential resource for visualizing the number line. Overall, the advice emphasizes simplifying the organization process and finding alternative tools for graphing.

Hey all, I was doing this one problem for a k-12 assignment but I didn't quite understand what it meant when it asked me to how it should be organized.Here's what the question looks like:

I'm having a very hard time trying to figure it out, but I don't know the BEST way to organize (nuts and screws first or bolts?)

For the second question I tried doing a desmos graph since it asked to draw on a "number line"

I couldn't even get the dots to come up. Please help me out with this!

Hello Yamaa!

It's pretty simple actually.

For the first one, adding in the nuts and screws first would be much simpler, as they are not as long as the bolts.

First thing's first is to separate them into 2 different groups. Bigger screws with bigger screws and bigger nuts with bigger nuts etc...

We now have 4 separate groups, place the 2 groups of nuts on one side and the screws on the other. Does this make sense? Now try figuring it out for yourself!As for the second one, the main problem is that Desmos no longer has a functioning number line system, it's mostly just graphs and what not.
However I've answered this same question before and thus I have this number line from a previous version of Desmos which I've used to help with these questions.

Take a look:

As you can see, many of the nuts and screws are under 1 on the number line, making them easy to spot. Whilst the bolts are farther ahead due to their large size.

I hope I've helped you out! And please tell me if there's anything else you need!
 
You proved to be quite helpful, um, to yourself.

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
