Local Radio Station gets into Imus Trouble... Take the "Practical Math Test"

[Analog]

Saginaw MI jockey gets into trouble for posting a "Practical Math" test for inner city kids. He is currently suspended as of this morning. Here is the test from yahoo cache:



Practical Math
Flint schools are finally starting to teach practical math that these kids can usein real-world situations!
It's about time schools adjusted their teaching methods to today's
circumstances!

Rofl, I think he should have used more neutral names for the "examples".

It's the black taboo thing again. Personally I think it's funny.

they read this off like 6 months ago at a radio station morning show here where i live and got callers call in to see if they could answer the questions, nothing happened, it was funny

that list has been floating around for years, im sure many people have used it for various things

 

[MegaVovaN]

Damn kids and their HW :roll:
I did the math, here's the results:

1. 11 hits per full clip
2. $4355
3. 3.1 times, so 2 ho's 3 times, one ho 4 times.
4. Don't understand the problem. Does it ask how many 1 oz bags to fit 20% of coke? If so, 3.2 - 4 bags, 3 full and .2 leftover in 4th bag.
5. One 4x4
6. $2800 left
7. 17.6 letters can be made with 20% paint left over, so 17 full letters.
8. 20%
9. 28 weeks
10. 440 ft away

Didn't find it funny at all. The boldness many bigots feel with one of their idols in DC is frightening, and it's saddening there's so many of them. No wonder we have things like ID getting credit as a "scientific" theory. Thankfully we only have one more year to endure. Hopefully the damage can, over the course of a long period of time, be repaired.

 

[daveymark]

this is old as hell. Saw this floating around at least 10 years ago in school

 

[mobobuff]

No Flint or even Lansing area DJ would be smart enough to compile that.

I remember when Howard Stern did ghetto jeopardy on a televised show. It was fucking hilarious. This was years and years ago and I don't think Stern was in trouble for it, well not any more than he already was back then.

Woah, wait, what? And how many more years does the world have to deal with your stupidity?

Hey, blacks can't have it all ways (though they work very hard to).

Either standardized testing such as the SAT/ACT is 'unfair' and 'discriminatory' because its culturally biased to favor whites (strange how other ethnicities like Asian and Indian kids have no problem ace-ing these 'white' tests), or they're not. If so, then how else would a test that is 'culturally sensitive' to blacks read?

There are 10 pieces of fried chicken in a bucket. If Laquisha ate four pieces of fried chicken, what percentage of the bucket did Laquisha eat?

That actually isn't even 'correct'. What blacks self-style as 'soul food' has nothing to do with black culture. Its southern culture. Everyone in the South eats that sh-t.

It's only called 'soul food' in the North. In the South, everyone just calls it 'food'.

HAHAHA, I bet there are more "Bigots" that don't like Bush Jr. than do.

Though I guess in your ideal world everyone will be the same color and everyone will dress the same.
What I think is funny is that people get worked up over the truth. There is a reason lists like this get made, and it's the same reason stereo-types are made. Because IT'S TRUE!!!

You people are like rabid dogs btw. Sometimes I wish my game were more wary :laugh:

"Show your work" - my work available upon request.

I'm requesting to see your work.

As you wish :wine:


1. Ramon misses 6 out of 10 shots. Which means he hits 40% of his shots. Since he shoots groups of 13 shots, only five shots hit. 13 / 100% * 40% = 5.2 hits
Clip has 30 rounds of ammo. Ramon shoots two groups of 13, using 26 bullets and hitting 10 times. He has 4 rounds left in the gun. 4 / 100% * 40 % = 1.6 hits. So out of remaining 4 bullets only 1 hits. Thus, 10+1 = 11 hits per 30 round mag.

2. 8 ball is 3.5 grams. 2 oz is ~56.7 grams. He sold 3.5g (Antonio) + 2g (Juan). He has 56.7-5.5g ~= 51g left. Assuming he sells his shit at $85 per g, street value is 51*$85= $4355

3. All 3 ho's get $85*3= $255 per one tick each. $800/$255 = 3.1. So if each ho was pimped 3 times, it will not be enough dough. One of ho's needs to be pimped 4 times, then it will be 10 pimps total for $850, which is enough.

4. 1 lb = 16 oz; 16 oz / 100% * 20% = 3.2 1oz bags to bag 20% of k. So 3 full 1oz bags, and one bag to put the remainder in.

5. 1*bmw - 2k + 2*corvettes - 3k + 3*4x4s - 3k. 3k+3k+2k = 8k. Need 1k more (one 4x4)

6. 6x12 = 72 months in 10 years. 10,000 - (72 * 100) = $2800 left. Shoulda invested 10k at decent interest rate for 10 years...mhmm

7. 3 cans * 22 sqft each = 66 sqft with 100% of 3 cans. 66 sqft/3 sqft = 22 letters with 100% of paint. 22 / 100% * 20% = 4.4 letters can be painted with 20%. 22-4.4 = 17.6 letters with 80%. So 17 full letters can be painted and still have 20%+ paint left over.

8. 4/20 = x/100; 400/20 = 20%. He knocked 20% girls. Another way to solve this: He got 4/20 girls, which is 1/5. 1/5 is same as 20%.

9. It costs 5 rats * $5 per rat = $25 a week to feed boa. $700/25$ a week = 28 weeks.

10. 15 mph is 15miles/60min = 0.25 miles per min. 0.25 miles is 1320 ft. It takes 20 seconds to load and fire piece. 20 seconds is 1/3 of a minute, so 1320/3 = 440 ft. By the time Juan loads his piece, Marvin will be 440 feet away. How far he will be when he gets whacked depends on how good of a shooter Juan is.




You happy now, sweetheart?

QFT. You could replace these with Indian or Asian names and it would still have the same effect, at least around where I live (Vancouver). The point is, these are jokes about gangs and crime, not racial jokes. Just in case anyone has forgotten, there are gang members of virtually every ethnicity somewhere.

People need to loosen up and laugh more.

LMAO that is freaking HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAHAH!
