I believe you are supposed to calculate nine squared, and then subtract one from the result.
one take away one tenth = nine tenths
how do you take one away from nine and leave ten
Startling. Take away the L and you get starting. Take away the second T and you get staring. Take away the A and you get string. Take away the R and you get sting. Take away the T and you get sing. Take away the G and you get sin. Take away the S and you get in. Take away the N and you get I.
One square yard equals nine square feet.
nine over twelve or three over four if wanted simplified
9/10 - 1/3 = 27/30 - 10/30 = 17/30
Well, isn't that a fun little riddle! Let's see here... Ah, I've got it! The word you're looking for is "starting." If you take away the six letters "s," "t," "a," "r," "t," and "i," you're left with the word "ng." Keep those creative juices flowing!
One take away two thirds is one third.
To speak. Take away one letter.
9 = 3 squared so root 3 is 9 to the power one-third.
1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100, 101. Remember, the only digits allowed in base 3 are 0, 1 & 2. So to represent nine, we have 100 which is 3 squared. Ten is nine plus one, or three squared plus one --> 101.
By factoring I get x-3 divided by x+3
