I stg a large amount of children would have far less issues with math if anyone attempted to teach them factorization or number theory instead of beating multiplication tables into their brains through repetition.
As soon as I learned how to approach problems by breaking numbers into chunks and the weird number quirks they teach you for the GRE, I stopped hating basic math.

have to write about other things but literally translation creates meaning translation is not a corruption of the source text it is doing something that fanworks also do - which is adding an additional pole and dimension to the reader-text relationship axis. which is the target culture. looking at a translation as merely in relationship to its source text is like looking at only one cross section of a graph when you should be charting it in three dimensions

You own a catering business that makes specialty cakes. Your company has decided to create three types of cakes. To create these cakes, it takes a team that consists of a decorator, a baker, and a design consultant. Cake A takes the decorator 9 hours, the baker 6 hours, and the design consultant 1 hour to complete. Cake B takes the decorator 10 hours, the baker 4 hours, and the design consultant 2 hours. Cake C takes the decorator 12 hours, the baker 4 hour, and the design consultant 1 hour. Without hiring additional employees, there are 398 decorator hours available, 164 baker hours available, and 58 design consultant hours available. How many of each type of cake can be created?
