>Hammerstein and Kidman found that recent maths graduates from 2012 to 2015 scored poorly on common core concepts introduced at the middle school (6th to 8th grade) level.
Why are millennials so good at solving common core problems, yet older people can't figure them out?
$84
t. millennial
Example provided isn't common core.
74 you mean
Because common core is basically brainlet proof style of teaching math
2004 was the last time I was in the system

Welcome to Sup Forums newfag
((7 * 48) / 4) + 48
But it is
>In the U.S., it was found that Singapore math emphasizes the essential math skills recommended in the 2006 Focal Points publication by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the 2008 final report by the National Mathematics Advisory Panel, and the proposed Common Core State Standards, though it generally progresses to topics at an earlier grade level compared to U.S. standards.
It's 84, right? I'm pretty goddamn dumb and I figured that in short order with no pencil/calculator, and I have no math education beyond calculus in college
(48/4)*7
> + 48
?
The fuck?
No, that's just a basic algebraic math problem. I had plenty like that when I was in high school. So did my parents. So did my grandparents. It's nothing new. I'm not sure what you're even getting at.
>(( ) )
Doing it in my head, I got 84.
(48/4)*7
48/4=12
12x7=84
Congratulations on being a semi-intelligent person. I swear to God they teach kids like retards these days if they teach them to do it any other way than you just did.

What were their answers and what were their majors?
It cost the life of 2 child laborers in India.
this is a much more aesthetic way of displaying it
4/7 = 48
1/7 = 12
7/7 = 84
>It's 84, right?
Yeah
Common core tells students to draw a picture to figure it out

Yes it's common core.
Irony is that common core was supposed to solve the problem of people not understanding math, but it has made it worse.
48/4 = 12
12*7 =84
Vince had $84
(((()))))
Its 98, right?
because unless it's 4/7= 48/X it's "new math" kike bullshit that if society wasn't already fucked would be as much of a worthless ineffective boondoggle as "new math" was in the 80's/90's
is right.
trolling
4/7 = 48/x Cross multiply
(48 * 7) / 4 = 84
the answer is 84 dollars.
>prove it
84 / 7 = 12
12 * 4 = 48
this isn't a hard problem if you understand basic algebra.
i did it the long way because apparently im a fucking retard
4(x/7) = 48
x/7 = 12
x = (7)(12) = 84
rip my own perceived intelligence
Thats what i did but the way i did it in my head was
>Read the problem
>Think "if 48 is 4, then 12 is 1"
>if 12 is 1/7th then 12*7 is what i gotta do
>10*7 is 70, so 70 + 2*7 is what i need
>2*7 is 14, so 70+14 is the answer
>the answer is 84
I mean, I see what they're doing there, but it seems unnecessarily complex for such a simple question.
...
thanks Germany, we can always count on your elegant precision
Are they that dumb to not be able to do it in their heads?
you don't need pictures
There is hope for american education.
Fuck, I couldn't dive 48 by 4, thought it was 14
.
>Shoes cost 4/7 of total
>therefore shoes that cost $48 represent 4 out of 7
>48 / 4 = 12
>each part equals 12
>12*7= l84
Vincent had $84.
This took me 14 seconds to do in my head. How long does it take common niggores to come up with the wrong answer?
Who gives a fuck about fractions when youre decimal master race.
>Comic Sans
>worksheet doesn't show borrowing for 'old way'
really activates my almonds.
Oh shit nigger, we've graduated to the seventh grade
I like it but I was imagining it as
48=4x/7
divide 48 by 4, multiply the answer by 7.
this is common fucking sense. it's barely math at all, ffs.
if I can do it, it isn't difficult.
>Entire thread
>No mention of proportions
>No cross multiply and divide
None of you deserve to make fun.
>the answer is 88
is common core secretly /ourmath/?
You set it up as a ratio problem.
4 48
- = -
7 X
Then you use the Bow Tie Method. 48 times 7 divided by 4 = X.
X = 84

>hurr durr you will use math to solve problems that will never happen in life because math is most jewish science of them all and is not totally useless because calculators are a thing hurr durr
mathematicians should be gassed
same with lawyers
manlet subhuman who should kill himself immediately
love this
Am I the only one that does (7/4)•48?
Jack is a midget
Jack 80
Leslie 120
I don't know about other countries, but in France we're told to first find the equation of the problem, then solve it
Here it would be:
>x represent Vincent total money
>we have (4/7)*x = 48
>so x = 40*(7/4) = 84
Eh. 7(48 / 4) is easier
see friendo
Jack 80cm
Leslie 120cm
Am I the only one who did (48/4)*7?
Lindsay is 160
Leslie is lindsays minus half of half of 160, which is half of 80, which is 40, which is 120
Leslie is 120
Jack is 2/3 of 120, which is 1/3 of 120 times two, which is 40 times 2, which is 80
Jack is 80
Thats my train of thought
Jack is a manlet at 80cm.
$27.428
I did that too it was the most common sense way to complete it. Took a second
is everybody here under 17? if so, post pics
It doesn't matter. You can do
48/4*7
7/4*48
7*48/4
same shit
nah son i did the same thing welcome to the retard club
Divide 48/4 (because cost of 4/7) = 12 12*7 = 84
>4/7 of his money
this would literally never happen in real life
money works in percentages, not fractions
why don't they teach you shit you actually need to know?
like how to apply for a mortgage
Calculator cheating fag
This is braindead simple though.
You know 4 parts of X is 48, so what divides 4 times into 48?
12 does.
So, 12x7 = 84.
Bingo bango.
Are kids these days really so stupid they can't do something that simple?
fuck no, it's obfuscation.
my parents would have pulled me out of school if they'd tried this shit on us.
>find the evidence in the text that shows you the character is mean.
Raising weaklings, unfit for a male workplace. I'm pretty goddamn mean, and I make sure other people get a lot done.
That's retarded. It's (48/4)*7 and you are overcomplicating it even more than the common core tards
Yep.
Here's my shitty picture that is required for a full credit answer
Hey let's give Jack the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's a golden retriever.
This is the simplest and correct answer.
So, he spent 57.14285714285714 percent of his money?
That just rolls off the tongue.
Much easier than 4/7.
Jack 2/3 of Lesbo who is 3/4 Lindsay Graham who is 160. .75x160 = 120 x .67 = 80 cm. Jack is one midget mother fucka
Why the frig is this hoser spending 4/7 of his money on shoes
Jesus christ
clearly not:
48/(4/7)
i was always really good at solving word problems or at least figuring out how to do them but i would often forget to carry the one or forget a simple step in a formulae and fuck it all up.
Dam you guys are dumb I just figure out the value of fraction times 3 and added it.
>is everybody here under 17? if so, post pics
Shut up Podesta.
48 * (7 / 4) Is the best way to do it.
You're simply creating a multiplier to inverse the initial division.
x = (2/3)*y
y = (3/4)*z
z = 160 cm
This is pretty straightforward
>i was always really good at solving word problems or at least figuring out how to do them but i would often forget to carry the one or forget a simple step in a formulae and fuck it all up.
translation:
"I was never good a solving problems"
x = 48 / 4
x = x*7
Yeah and all these autists using high level math to solve this retarded shit make me cringe
thats how i did it
lmao this nigga cant even afford a good pair of jordan. the fuck outta here with yo walmart shoes bitch
I'm actually a math tutor who works with this kinda stuff. Its actually pretty good if you have someone explain it well.
To teach it, you should do it like this:
They had 4 parts (of 7) made a total of $48. So each part is 12. The whole is 7 of these 12s making $84. (Pictures also help a lot)
Once they're advanced enough, they can do ($48/4)*7 = $84
>14 seconds
$84
>x = x*7
I actually said the complete opposite. Apparently you were never good at reading English. here is to hoping it is your second language you dumb shitskin retard.
Far too many people are falling into the trap.
