If you want   6 over 7 just write it like this     6/7

Or if you are using the calc you can enter it like   \(6\div 7\)

\(2\frac{3}{4}\)

can be entered (or written) like this      (2+3/4)

Well SpawnofAngel, you have had at least two enthusiastic offers of help.

One from rarinstraw and one from Songoflight

I Head Mistress of Web2.0 Camelot Academy do thank thee for thine most generous offers.

I hope you have spoken to these citizens.  If no perhaps it be because thee be away for the weeks end?

Anyway Spawn, upon your return I trust you will honor rarinstraw and Songoflight with a heart felt thank you and an acceptance of their labour and expertise

-11 mod 10

Thanks Heureka,

I do not know if I will ever get the hang of doing these formally but this is an easy one that you can do in your head.

This is mod 10 so think of a circle like a clock only instead of the numbers going to 12 they only go to 10 and then they start again.  Also 10 is really 0.

-11 = -10-1

Start at 0, go 10 places in a negative direction and that gets you back to 0 again.

Now go 1 more place in a negative direction and it puts you one number BEFORE 0.

That number is 9

so -11 mod 10 = 9

Some people call Mod maths, Clock maths !!

Yea of little faith.

Spawn does indeed intend to entertain us with a play!

He may need a little help to get it up and running though.

Would you like to volunteer ?

The citizens of Camelot have no television or internet you know.  A play will be a wonderful diversion from everyday life!

By the way Chris you got it wrong.

The values of a and b are not known !!     ROF LOL

Hi Chris, TR and Heather,

I am totally lost on what you are saying TR and Heather.

What has some old post that has not even been address referenced got to do with the question here?

I guess Chris seems to have some idea that you are talking about but I don't.   

Maybe I should be on the forum more often then I might 'get' what is going on.   LOL 

I left out our physics people off my Credit list.  Alan is a Physicist and his posts sometimes blows my mind but Nauseated and Dragonlance as well as one or more guests often answer physics questions.  Physics is fascintating.  If there was an infinite amount of time I would definitely put effort into understanding physics.  :))

I have probably left some other great high end answerers off my list.... sorry.
