- Although if the teacher *taught* that it was, then I'd certainly give that answer. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:46 4
  - Also right if she wants credit. Unfortunately, the teacher is wrong. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:47
  - and...she'd be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:46 2
    - Sure, but that's not the point. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:51

  - Right. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:46 13
    - Yeah. Heather says 43 based on Abby getting a similar problem wrong on a test earlier -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 15:47 12
      - Was there a bar? - David Nov 9, 15:54 7
