"That's why the distance". Is this an acceptable complete sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the question he gave us and he wants it as a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that isn't a complete sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply the ratio 96000 to 56000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it depends to what your referring to. That's why the distance is...what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the distance doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As in, "that's why I am being distant". But I was trying not to personalize it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you talking about? @kennicast It's asking if it's a complete sentence. Not a ratio. This is a English question, not a math question. The distance doesn't matter, although you have to know what the distance is referring to in order to make the sentence complete.

its a math question i just need it as a fraction it doesn't matter if i have the distance or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized I am somehow in the mathematics forum, not the english forum. I apologize, I'm new to this site.

A complete sentence has three characteristics: 1) First, it begins with a capitol letter. 2) In addition, it includes an end mark - either a period [ . ], question mark [ ? ], or an exclamation point [ ! ]. 3) Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. A main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. Examples of Complete Sentences Would Be: 1) The banana rotting at the bottom of Jimmy's book bag has soaked his biology notes with ooze. 2) Did you notice the cricket swimming in your cup of tea? 3) I cannot believe that you tried one of those disgusting chocolate-broccoli muffins!

So, with this being said . . . to make the incomplete sentence " That's why the distance " into a complete sentence, you'll have to make sure it contains all of the following above.
