jhonyy9:

yeah

xxcoffee:

i feel dumb i did da work and got 15 i did it wrong oop

jhonyy9:

bc. 16*(1/16) =16/16 = 1

MiraAngel:

Okay

MiraAngel:

Half of 1/16 is 7/8 right?

MiraAngel:

no... it's not. scratch that

MiraAngel:

14/16 is 7/8 doubled

jhonyy9:

1/16/2 = 1/16 *1/2 = 1/32

MiraAngel:

So two more signs to go?

IhelpUuHELPme:

so 16

IhelpUuHELPme:

nope it was 14

jhonyy9:

MiraAngel:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @IhelpUuHELPme so 16 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) No. Some signs have already been placed. 16 is the total of how many should be placed... We are trying to figure out how many more
