Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy! :)
You seem new here and more than willing to help
which is mighty fine since we need all the help we can get :)
but you might want to take some time and read this site's code of conduct!
http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct
This site has a policy for "Give Help, Not Answers"
violations of such policies could potentially result in an account suspension or ban.
It's great to see another helper among us, so it would be sad if you got in trouble for giving out answers. Instead, you can try guiding the asker through their question to help them understand it.
Hope you'll have a nice time here on OpenStudy, and I'll see ya around :)
Have a Nice Day!

Answer 6

That is all okay. :)

Answer 7

Okay.
So let me try and rewrite your question. :)

Answer 8

ok :)

Answer 9

A race horse took 2 2/5 minutes to run 1 1/2 miles. How long would it take the horse to run one mile?

Answer 10

@BCWBubby Are there any answer choices?

Answer 11

nope what do you guys think it is

Answer 12

In order to find out how long it'll take for the horse to run 1 mile.
We simply divide the minutes by miles. \[2\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\div1\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]That is what we are going to do. :)

Answer 13

2 2/5 = 12/5
1 1/2 = 3/2

(12/5) / (3/2) = x/1
cross multiply
3/2x = 12/5 -- divide by 3/2
x = (12/5) / (3/2)
x = 12/5 * 2/3
x = 24/15
x = 1 9/15 which reduces to 1 3/5 minutes

Answer 14

@Ineedhelplz, we are supposed to work with the user, not just give out the whole steps and answer with it.
Otherwise they do not learn. That is the wrong way to guide the user to the answer.

Answer 15

@jabez177 I gave him the steps, there is no reason in wasting the users time

Answer 16

You don't have to argue with me every time I try to help someone.

Answer 17

thank you thank you thank you I thought it was something like that welp I'm off to work

Answer 18

You gave him the steps along with the answer.
How does the user learn?

Answer 19

He sees how it's done

Answer 20

Yes but he does not learn it.
That is the wrong way for the user to learn.
That is why we explain every step and let them do it so they can learn how to do it themselves.
In the real world, you will not be there to give him the steps and answer along with it.

Answer 21

the point is, @Ineedhelplz is that you're giving answers. and that doesnt fly with OS policy. its wrong via the rules and it's not helping them. if someone gave me all the steps to solve an integral problem i wouldnt have the first clue how to actually solve it myself. it doesnt help. please don't do it again.

Answer 22

I understand the code of conduct, but I am not giving a direct answer @jtug6

Answer 23

Actually you were.
You were giving the STEPS along with the ANSWER.
That also counts as giving the Direct answer.

Answer 24

x = 1 3/5 is an absolute DIRECT answer. youre giving all the steps and the included numerical value of what x is.

Answer 25

its alright guys, just know for future reference, work step by step and interact with them to make sure they learn better, ask them questions, just like i do in history, so like "What do you think the next step is" or "what do you think the product of this step would be" not saying what you are doing is wrong, it is just better for all of us, for the asker to learn better and for the helper to better interact with them and to improve as a teacher

Answer 26

also, if moderators see your answers you will be warned/suspended ect.

Answer 27

Are you sure?

Answer 28

not for that, they won't

Answer 29

Why don't you ask one and see what they say

Answer 30

Because I'm sure they would have by now if everything I was doing was against the code of conduct...

Answer 31

directly stating whatever he/she is doing is against the rules and not asking nicely and explaining why won't help them to cooperate

Answer 32

Yes. I've been warned multiple times as well. It's against rules. ONLY if its a direct answer, of course.

Answer 33

They do.
They follow the Code of Conduct so whatever they see that is against the Code of Conduct, they will give a warning/suspension if you keep doing it.

Answer 34

Guys drop this topic, keep what they said in future reference to avoid consequences, if you choose to ignore, you may be punished, maybe not, its a risk you are going to take, @jabez177 and @jtug6 may stop nagging him about it, its his risk to take, if you see him do it again, just report it, don't argue

Answer 35

Because at this point, arguing gets both sides nowhere, understood?

Answer 36

Okay. :)

Answer 37

Sure =)

Answer 38

...@jabez177 argues with me everytime I help someone out, and it does nothing

Answer 39

he agreed to stop @Ineedhelplz

Answer 40

I do not argue. You give a DA. I tell you not to.
That is not arguing. :)

Answer 41

Ok >.>
