It was DEATH!

The first 10 were fine, but then after that i realised that my brain was not capable of doing questions that hard LOL

What do you mean by 'some weird thing with ratios ' x jim?

 

[x jiim]

Comparing the ratio of the bigger tank to the smaller tank to that of the volume left in the tanks, and what it should be, and what you need to do to make the tanks sort of balanced [amount filled in the same ratio- so the same fraction of each tank was filled.] It's hard to put into words...

hey kurt,

yeah i was wanting my school to do the same thing. anyways, do you reckon it is possible to self-learn the stuff from the books if you buy those AMC enrichment books yourself? Becuas it said there needs to be teachers advising you through the process but do you think that this method will enable anyone like me to get better AMC results because of it?










thanks lookoutastroboy.
