Help needed
I was helping my grandson with his maths homework last night and his mother had an argument with the teacher this morning. Can you let me know what you think the answer is and how you achieved the answer
Facts: In my book there are 510 pages. The book has 10 equal chapters, Question : What page does chapter 9 start on ? Would really appreciate your thoughts. |

Re: Help needed
i get 409.
510 divided by 10 = 51, easy. 8 chapters before the start of chapter 9, so 8 x 51 and then add one for the page that chapter 9 starts on. Am i right? Do i win? Shouldn't this be in Idle Banter?
