Atomic Timekeeping Podcast Episode 18

What this episode covers

A few things this time around: First, if you're interested in radio controlled clock products from Skyscan, Here's a link to their company web site... http://skyscan.info/content/index.php That link will also contain links to contact information and product manuals for both current and discontinued products. Meanwhile here's a nice place to look up sunrise and sunset times for your favorite U.S. cities. http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar.asp And here's a math quiz for you. If I say, "This hamburger costs five times more than a sandwich," how do you express that as a mathematical equation? Let's see... if the sandwich is $1 then let's say that "n=1." Now, "five times more" would be something like this: "n + 5n," right? So then "five times more" is the same as "six times the original number." n+5n=6n. So if the sandwich is $1 then the hamuger is $6. Not five but SIX! Now, if I say that a used computer costs three times less than a new computer, how do you express that as a mathematical equation?. I'm not even going to try. So, download my podcast episode here... AtomicPodcast18.mp3 (Running Time 30:29)Subscribe to the Podcast in iTunes
