Zero pay raise for the CEO who is bad at Math
See how the CEO who’s bad at Math calls his HR department for a 0 pay raise in his salary saying, “That’s right, I’ve decided to give myself zero pay raise this year.” And he has cleverly done his homework on the discussion board before applying for the raise.
Let’s begin with one of the favorite feats of mental math – how to multiply, in your head, any 2-digit number by eleven. It’s very easy once you know the secret. Consider the problem:
32 X 11
To solve this problem, simply add the digits, 3 + 2 = 5, put the 5 between 3 and the 2, and there is your answer:
352
What could be easier? Now you try:
53 X 11
Since 5 + 3 = 8, your answer is simply
583
One more. Without looking at the answer or writing anything down, what is
81 x 11?
Did you get 891? Congratulations!
Kids, and sometimes parents too, are scared of math and call friends, colleagues & relatives to solve math homework questions while, once understood, math comes easily and helps you in the following ways:
No math gene
I had my doctor do a DNA blood analysis, as I suspected, I’m missing the math gene.
Kids may encounter times when they have to see whether a number is divisible by any number. Such a situation may also arise in exams when the students or kids (sometimes even their parents) may use the following tactics to find out if a given number is divisibly by any number:
Mathematics has always been the subject of question both for parents & students. Students just want their parents, friends or well-wishers to their math homework for them. Sometimes, students don’t even hesitate in employing some online or offline tutor to get their homework done while many parents still call their friends & colleages and sometimes even browse over the internet to find the solutions to the questions of their wards.
As John Louis von Neumann has rightly put it, “If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is”. Mathematics has helped enormously in the evolution of mankind and without it our lives would have been dumb. From the calculation of the money we have to calculating the distance between different planets & stars, mathematics finds its application everywhere. Sometimes parents are heard encouraging their wards for learning math saying, “If You Don’t Learn Math, How Would You Calculate Your Wealth”. It’s irony however that even parents have been fearful of mathematics.
