    I used to teach basic electronics in the Air Force. I can teach arithmetic. It takes one afternoon to teach fractions. I mean that course that school teachers can't teach in a year and a half.

    God it would be so great to have someone like you next-door.  I'd make you lasagna and you could teach me algebra.

    Get a ruler in your hands. Measure things until you start to understand how a ruler works. Measure some stuff and figure out where the center is. Say you measure a book and it's 7/8" thick. You look at your ruler and see that every eighth is divided into two sixteenths, so obviously half of 7/8" is going to be 7/16". If you write that out you have 1/2 x 7/8 = 7/16. And you notice that 1/2 is divided into 2/4 and then into 4/8 and so on, so you can convert anything to anything by multiplying all the numbers on top and then all the numbers on bottom.

    Other rulers are divided into 10 and 100 parts. But an inch is still an inch, so anything on one ruler can be translated to the other ruler. A half inch on one ruler is 5/10 or 50/100 on the other. An eighth inch is just 12.5 marks when you have 100 marks per inch. A metric ruler divides an inch into 25.4 parts, so a half inch would be 12.7 of those parts. Pretty simple, isn't it? Practice this a bit and people will think you went to wizard school.

    Percent is simply a ruler with 100 marks. The only confusion is trying to keep track of what the marks represent, since that changes from time to time.

    Pearl that is so good to know.  Surely they will take that into consideration when you apply for jobs.  Most companies are looking for that. 

    Fingers crossed for you

    Maybe you should change from Alf to the Big Lebowski or whatever that bowler was that John Goodman played  (It could work)

  • I didn't see that movie, but you don't really need much of a reputation to be a bowling coach/teacher. Although, all five of my bowling coaches were professional bowlers (2 women, 3 men). I was semi-pro for a couple of years, but worked for a living, so I didn't have the time or sponsorship to become a pro.
