Word problem guide pg 64 Qn 15

THe question asking for which quantity is greater.

A=105; B=110.

apparently the answer should be B, but the answer in page 69 says A.

typo mistake?


Also, lots of typo mistakes in this book.
1. page 65 answer no.4: suppose to be "7/60 buckets per minute", not "7/10 buckets per minute"

2. page 60 answer no. 5: suppose to be "18 miles for this distance", not 10.

3. page 35 under "Hidden Constraints": with a 7 in the denominator - which is wrong, its a 7 in the numerator.

Hope these will be corrected in the future printed books. Otherwise it's quite frustrated while reading the wrong numbers and trying to understand the concepts..

Hey Lany,

All of these errors are listed on the errata page of our website (you can access it in the student center, just click "Errata"). Very sorry if they compromised your understanding. Most of the time, it's pretty easy to work out what it is we meant, but it's certainly annoying when a typo causes confusion. And yes, our new editions are coming out in a few weeks, and all typos will be corrected. Good luck with your studying!
