Math Problem #3

Suppose you wanted to multiply 42/5 by 65/7. In this case, how can you change a mixed number to an improper fraction? (Answer using algebraic terms.) Also, can you tell me what the changed improper fractions are, and also the answer? Good luck!

Solution to Math Problem #2: f=1. Since a=c and b=0, then a+b-c will always equal 0. Want proof? x+0 will always remain x, so a+b=a. Now a=c, so a+b=c. Also, y-y will always equal 0, so c-c=b=0. 0*z always equal o, so 0*4=0, and 0+e=1=f! (Notice that it does not matter what a and c are, because of a rule I call The Controversial Rule. The Controversial Rule simply states that a+b-c=b if a=c. Also notice that if you used the order of operations, then this problem would become impossible.)

Courtney's Testimony

I have loved Jesus for as long as I can remember. So, here is my testimony:

As we were having Bible time one night, we were reading Matthew 3:13-17 (Jesus's baptism), and I was asked to narrate those verses. I said Jesus got baptized to show us that we need to have a new birth in Christ. It was almost the same thing. Jesus got baptized to set a good example for us. It was then and there that I decided I was going to get baptized. Daddy had me do a study on repentance. Repentance is to look back with sorrow on a deed or deeds, or to have pain and regret of our past conduct. I also read the Gospel John and found John 1:33: And I knew Him not, but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me , upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. So me and my parents had several talks about repentance, and other things relating to baptism. They decided I was ready, and we set a date. I hope you will have the same experience I did.


Love,

Courtney

Matthew's Testimony

My relationship with God started about 5½ years ago. About 5½ years from that day when I was 5½, [I hope] my faith has strengthened and grown. I've been reading Bible, memorizing Bible, reading devotionals, and trying to remember to pray every morning. I hope it helps the whole rest of the day, because I've read in my devotional that having Bible Time with God is very important for the rest of the day. Now, I've decided, is the time to take another step. I want to follow Jesus' example early on in my life. My [Heavenly] Father (and my earthly one) told me to do a study on baptism. John must of felt very privileged to baptize Jesus, and I hope that my earthy father (and my Heavenly One) will feel privileged to baptize me.
