    Start by dividing the 250 into 1000 and go from there

    Sprung09, please, check all the thread you are answering. This one, for example was made on 7 Nov 2006. I think the poster now can do those sort of problems, don't you think so? :rolleyes:

    I know you're quite new here, I'm just saying what mistakes you can make while giving help.

    Whatever happened to the concept of teaching greatest common factor?? Yeah, I know the thread is old but this still bugs me. I work with people in college who can't do anything, but I never see anyone teach anything anymore.

    Wow, you two are kind of rude, you just jump on anything that someone might do wrong or by accident. Pretty sure I noticed the date after the fact in which is why I did not post anything else under this...

    Gosh, give it a rest already.

    Unknown008 was perfectly polite to you when informing you of the date and not at all rude.

    I posted a perfectly polite response to you in another thread about why we shouldn't just answer people's homework, and how seeing solutions doesn't necessarily help their learning. It was a reasonable explanation with no rudeness whatsoever.

    My post here was to Unky, not you, and I was making a general comment. My reference to the old thread was just admitting I shouldn't let this bug me on some old thread, and nothing at all to do with the fact that you had drug it up.
