Im going to take this topic as my own because we currently have a substitute in my math class and hes really bad at math, so bad in fact that at one point he asked me how to do a problem and when I said I didnt know he took it off of the test because neither did he. Plus today when we took the test there was a super easy problem for whatever reason:
"2/3 of 90 is what percent of 120"
2/3 of 90 is 60 and its 50 percent of 120, easy problem anyone can do in their head and yet he didnt have 50 percent as an option. When I asked why he came over with his calculator and did 90*2 to get 180 for whatever reason and then started guessing and checking with the percentages listed, never actually getting 50 percent to come up on his calculator and then randomly goes "Yeah youre right I guess, guys just write the answer on the bottom"
Its horrible and so I cant ask him questions.
Anyway back to my question, how do I solve this problem:
"The first tuesday of a thirty day month falls on the fourth. On what date does monday of the last week fall on?"
Im not too good at math and had no idea what I was doing, but needed an answer so I just randomly did 30/7 to get 4.29 and then did 4.29-3 because it was the last week (No real reason as to why, just had no idea what I was doing) and then divided 30 by that for a reason Im not entirely sure of and got ~23 which I added one to because it was a Tuesday and got 24. I dont even know if thats right but I counted on a calender and it came out correct, so I guess I was just super lucky, but I would still like to know how to actually solve this because it sounds like it should be easy...
