I have a really stupid numbers question

[QuestionableMouse]

I know I should be able to work it out but I have dyscalculia, started to work it out and now have confused myself so badly I've given up all together!

I'm playing a post apocalyptic city builder game and need 27 million to remove some uranium barrels.

I'm making 44000 every nine seconds. How long is it going to take to make the 27mil?

I think I have an answer of just over 92 minutes. But I might have done it upside down.

I’ve done 27000000/44000=. Then x 9 then / 60

I got just over 92 mins as well. Same calculation as @Glovesandscarf using a calculator.

27m divided by 44k is roughly 613.
613 x 9 seconds equals 5522 seconds
Divide by 60 equals 92 mins

About 10 minutes

Thank you!

I know it's an absolutely stupid question but I've had a really rubbish day (my mum fell at home and it's taken all day to get her seen, still waiting in A&E because she had a "long lie") so my brain is totally frazzled too. ☹️

60/9 =6.667
44000x6.667 =293,348
27,000,000/293,348=92.0409 mins

Thank you!

It will take approximately 5,523 seconds (or 92 minutes, or 1 hour and 33 minutes) to make $27,000,000.

All the best and positivity

Thank you!

She has a broken foot which sucks but we've been in a&e since 5pm and still don't seem any closer to treatment!

I see people have already helped you, but could I ask what the game is? I love things like that, and if it's one I haven't already played, I'd love to!

I also want to know the game 😂

It's https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=studio.powerplay.tycoonwrapper

It's really nice - you basically buy tiles to expand your world, finding bunkers along the way to expand your population. There's different things too you can use like trees, mines, ports, and more. The offending uranium! And my initial area.

I don't want to say too much to spoil things because half the fun is discovering it yourself!

you can also use it for a whole range of questions that otherwise add up on the boards

I like the occasional maths question on here!

We learn something new everyday. Thanks @QuestionableMouse

@ByHardyAquaFox apologies for not thinking of that while sitting in a busy a&e with my mum.

Who pissed on your chips?
different people like different things, I quite enjoyed a tiny puzzle (even more so once everyone agreed with my answer!)
it’s led to an extended discussion about a game and a recommendation for another poster.
‘Polluting the boards’! Twit. Have you seen some of the utter shite floating about from bits & trolls? This isn’t pollution.

Exactly!

I also am getting sick of chat whatever it is answers on forums to stuff. Like parents asking for help with writing letters to schools is the worst one. They ask for some simple help and someone will get an AI answer for them. It’s always American spelling and terms and looks totally ridiculous and just makes me cringe tbh.
Think for yourself! We don’t need a computer to do everything for us

Hope your mum has a speedy recovery op. DDad had a fall a few weeks ago, and was down for a long time before the ambulance came. It's such a worry.

@fashionqueen0123

Have you read past the first post, or did you read the full thing and just decided to be unkind anyway? I'm sorry my thread on this forum with thousands of them has offended you so much.

Thank you! We didn't get home until 5am so we're both just absolutely shattered still! Hope your dad is okay too!

Er no.. I was replying to the person above me in agreement, who had defended your post when someone said you should have asked elsewhere. The page didn’t load properly and the quote has disappeared.

If you reread what I wrote I was saying how annoying chat bots etc are and I also answered your maths question for you higher up. So you can calm down.
