I think you're right, 9/4. I was adding before subtracting... just goes to show how much you forget after college. I took Calc 1-3, DE, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, passed them all with a B or higher, and now I can barely perform basic arithmetic.

You have a maths question, and the first place you think to ask it is in the corner?

Evilkittie :

I revised my answer. It isnt 18. It is 18/8 I think reduced to 9/4 but check back a few posts for the correct answer.
