    I can remember when apples were 12 cents and oranges were 15 cents, that makes me old as dirt now.

    That’s a system of equations, isn’t it? 3O = 4.5A; O+A = 30. Isolate O in the second equation, solve for A in the first equation, etc. Paige is about the right age to be doing that in algebra class.

    I still hate math story problems and we used to call it arithmetic not math.

    I can read with speed and comprehension. But math word problems were the bane of my educational years.

    I took college physics and it was pretty much word problems. I hated it in high school but excelled on it in college.

    Really dates this cartoon doesn’t it. At $4.50 a pound it’s hard to find an apple that costs less than a dollar, a small crab perhaps.

    But if the orange left Cincinnati at 9 AM traveling east at 60 miles an hour, where will it meet the apple that left Buffalo at 8:30 AM traveling west at 65 miles an hour?

    3o = 9a/2; o+a = 30; o = ?

    Yeah, the looks on everyone’s faces in math classes when the teachers would say ‘word problems’…

    3R=9A/2 and R+A=30

    A=30-R so 3R=9/2 (30-R)

    3R=135-9R/2

    15R/2=135

    R=18

    In any case the Kessel run was done in 3 microseconds when warp 7 was developed!

    That sounds more like a brain teaser than a math problem
