Is it really?it's impossible to give an answer without knowing how far he is from either/both places.....[/b]
yesthe ratio is the answer...right???[/b]
with only one possible equation and more than one variable, yes it is impossible...and all the question asks for is a ratio...Is it really?[/b]
i bet even lutz dun know the answer!
Winner.yes

1 point.
New question in 5 minutes.
schwing...9 more to go....
New question up.
/me waits for somebody to post 1000 R's.
Might want to clarify what exactly you mean by R
I don't need to... you should figure it out./me waits for somebody to post 1000 R's.

.rrr?
lawl
im high
This isn't a trick question...

actually its quite possible, its just that the answer would be in terms of variables, so that if you wanted to work with specific numbers you just plug them into an equation.
[home]----------a-----------[john]---------b-------[park]
where a is the time it takes him to travel to the house and b the time to the park.
he has to walk home, so he travels a; then he has to travel a again, but seven times faster, so a + a/7; then he has to travel b, so the total time to get the bike and ride is a + a/7 + b; so the ratio you wanted is
b / (a + a/7 + b/7)
in reference to question 3:
if you just ask for the value of some constant to the thousandth place, i fail to see how its a "logical math" question and not just a trivia question. perhaps you meant to provide a problem along with the question?This isn't a trick question...[/b]

It cannot be calculated - I didn't specifically define variables to represent the distances.
you dont have to, when solving a problem a person is at liberty to assign his own variables. plug in any time rates into the equation i gave you and it will give the correct ratio.
yes, you are correct, and you gave the exact same equation as me....
it just had the division split up into fractions instead of in parentheses and together like mine....
