Help with math? i need someone to explain how to get the answer. ?
i dont need the answers i just need some help explaining how to get to the answer. if you want you can include the answer so i can see if i worked the problem out right.... 26.) in 1999, tennis-playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams earned a total of $4,921,107. If venus had earned $289,097 more, she would have earned the same as Serena. How much did each earn? For this I made venus x. x-289,097+x=4,921,107 *would i just combined the like terms and divide each side by two i get 2605102. that would equal serennas amount right? and if you subtract 289097 that'd give you venus amount...?* 27.) a 48-ft wire is cut into three pieces. The second piece is three times as long as the first piece. The third piece is four times as long as the second piece. How long is each piece? *I have no idea how to work this one out* 29.) Mr. Horvath put some money into a savings account and deposited no more into this account for one year. At the end of the year, there was $6272 in the account, including 6% of the original amount for interest. How much did he deposit originally? *once again no idea...* 30.) After a 20% discount, an item was sold for $9600. What was the original price of the item? *would you multiply .2 by 96000 and then add that amount to the total? .20x9600=1920. 1920+9600=11520 was the original price?* 31.) The population of the united states in 1998 was estimated to be 270 million. This was a 79% increase over the population in 1950. What was the population in 1950, to the nearest million? *once again clueless...* 33.) One number is 25% of another. The larger number is 12 more than thesmaller. Both numbers are positive. What are the numbers? *no idea* Ok so there are the problems. I'd just like to know how to solve them step by step. I've been doing great in my alegbra cp class it's just word problems that get me. if you'd like you can include answer. kind of wanting to get answers myself. thanks, megan
What is the best answer for "Why do you want to work for us?" when asked in an interview?
The best answer I recommend for “Why do you want to work for us?” is first to be authentic and think about why you want to work for the company.The natural inclination is to respond with the generic statement about how your skills would be a great fit for the company, etc. However, the goal is to be memorable and demonstrate that you organically connect with the company. What most companies are really looking for is to determine if you are just looking for a job or would you be invested in the organization.With that being said, First you will have to do some research on the company. This can easily be accomplished by going on their website and on their social media pages. From this, a wealth of information can be found. Think about what would be most important to the company or the industry. What kind of things are they posting? What do they seem most engaged in? An example may be that you noticed that the company posts many pictures of them volunteering in the community or the company may emphasize in their core values that safety is a priority. Both are things that you authentically care about.Armed with that information your response may sound something like this:“I noticed that ABC company is very involved in giving back to the community. This is something that demonstrates to me that the company really cares about its impact in the world and I want to be a part of that. In addition, the fact that you emphasize safety tells me that you care about your employees as much as you care about the customer. As you may see in my resume, safety is important to me as well as I was the safety captain for the past five years and would be able to bring that experience to ABC.”Which response would be more memorable for the interviewer? The standard statement or the statement that builds a connection between you and the company?I hope this helps!

Help answering some computer questions?
1: with a single beep the I would assume the motherboard, CPU and memory is working fine as any of these failing would incur more beeps from the motherboard speaker. 2: If nothing show on the screen after the single beep after say 30 seconds I would suspect the video display, check all cables leading to the monitor and if confirmed connected properly check the video card with a different known working one. 3: Replace the video card with a known working card to see if old one is faulty. 4: (a)What was you doing when then error occured? (b) Is the problem replicatable? e.g. does it happen every time you do what you did? (c) Have you installed any new hardware or software into the computer just prior to the problems happening (d) Have you tried shutting the computer down and re-starting to see if the problem goes away (e) Have you checked all the cables that plug into the computer to make sure they are all connected properly? 5: The computer makes a certain number of beeps through the computer internal speaker to indicate the possible cause to the fault 6: The MBR (Master Boot Record) contains the information required to locate the beginning of the OS on a drive, but it's not really a program. 7: (a) A list of all the partitions on the drive including the type of partition e.g. FAT32, NTFS, ext....

Why do people answer questions on Quora?
Go to a village in any part of India and ask any address to anyone. They will stand up if they are sitting, come near your car and will try to explain you that address in the best possible way. If you by chance ask a group, you will receive multiple suggestions also.These people don't get any reward but they feel happy that they have helped someone find what they are searching for.I think this is the same satisfaction people get, answering questions on Quora.
Does Zantac work for baby’s acid reflux?
I have a 2 month old baby that has been suffering from acid reflux ever since he was born. It has gotten worse recently so the baby’s Pediatrician prescribed him Zantac. Today was his first day taking it and I don’t see that it’s making a difference. Is it supposed to work right away or does it take time? I have been struggling to put him to sleep for about 3 weeks now. He cries when I try to lay him down and he stays awake and uncomfortable until about 4 AM. It is 3:03 AM right now and he’s just dozing off. So I really need help. Please let me know if it worked and if it did how you gave it to your baby. Sincerely, Struggling Mom
