Irrational Numbers

[table1349]

It might help if you explain what I'm supposed to do.

Otherwise 1/5 2/5 1/5 1/5 just in different colors.

What does it spell out? Or perhaps, how does the equation read?

Me no understand.

It spells out 1/5 2/5 1/5 1/5. There's no equation.

If I am supposed to make an equation out of it, then 1/5+2/5+1/5+1/5=1

Read it with a lisp.

When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?

When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?

When you add two hours to eleven o'clock, you get one o'clock.

At McDonald’s you can order Chicken McNuggets in boxes of 6,9, and 20. What is the largest number of nuggets that you cannot order using any combination of the above?

If I understand robbin's and tirediron's point correctly (and please correct me if I interpreted it incorrectly) they are saying that in the original problem, the equivalent equations, using typical mathematical variable terms instead of icons, would be...

z+z+z=30

z+yy+yy=18

yy-xx=4

Solve: x + (z x y) = ?

And so it's technically unsolvable because there's no way to determine if x and xx, or y and yy are equivalent values.

As for mine:

Read the first number aloud. Read the second number aloud. Read the last two numbers but substitute the numerator with the color.

And now I have to work on that adding two to eleven and coming up with one...

Solved two pages ago. Somebody want to tell her???

A palindrome is a word that reads the same when spelled backwards (eg rotavator).
How could the following word be considered a palindrome?

There is to, too and two. Can you correctly write the sentence "There are 3 _____'s in the English language. Referring to the three words listed at the beginning, to, too and two.
(Hint, there is a way to do it and be grammatically correct.)

As for solving an equation for x, you can't really do it because x cannot ever hear the solution, you can only solve it for yourself. It is not grammatically correct even though it is mathematically correct...
Am I close? If not please let us all know what you are thinking...before someone has a stroke.

"There are three words that sound like /tū/ in the English language."

"There are three words that sound like /tū/ in the English language."

No, It HAS to say precisely: There are 3 __'s in the English language." Not words that sound like...etc.
Try again, you are close.

If you're looking for only one word how about:
There are three homophones in the English language.

Which isn't true but the sentence is proper.

 

[table1349]

There are three tüz in the English language." is the perceived answer but is not actually correct.

I cannot think of an answer for what a set of to/too/two may be. A set/group of crows is a murder, alligators are a congregation, barracudas are a battery, a set of buzzards are a wake, Gnus are an implausibility, et cetera ... can't come up for anything for a triple, trifecta, hat trick set of the homophone to/two/too.

My linguist's brain sees only one answer: There are three /tu:/s in the English language.

I also have a question. Is the apostrophe ('s) deliberate and supposed to denote possession?
