There are 16 of the symbol |
and there are 15 of the symbol ----
The symbol ---- refers to the 14.3 copper cables we got as our
answer.
We rounded it up to 15 copper cables.
Therefore 15 copper cables ---- require 16 |
The end.
This is the sort of question that when it comes out in the PSLE,
parents go, " WTF WHY IS IT SO HARD! MY LITTLE BABY COULDN'T
DO IT! ONE MARK GONE JUST LIKE THAT! NOW MY BABY
CANNOT GET A* ANYMORE! CANNOT GO RGS/RI CANNOT GO GOOD SCHOOL!
HE/SHE HAS NO MORE FUTURE! "
And in case you're wondering, I put 15.
A whole bunch of us realised, just after we walked out of the
room, that it should have been 16.
Yea, answer is 16. Must +1 tower before rounding up.
By the way, there's this question (also part of the tower
question) which requires us to determine the cost due to power loss
in cable? Do we needa multiply the time?
I simply take 9 point something kWh multiply by $0.22 and
get something like $20+++. Come to think of it, i do think that it
is necessary to multiply by 24 again. what answer did you guys
get?
