How can you figure out the number of significant figures in this situation?
Q. .5 x 636 = 318 ".5" only has one siginificant figure, and "636" has three. Since the answer should have as many significant figures as the number with the least amount of significant figures, would "318" be "300" instead?

A. If the answer should have as many significant figures as the least amount in the given question, then yes, it would be 300.

How do I figure my tax bracket for long term capital gain?
Q. I'm trying to figure out if my long term capital gain is taxed at 5% or 15%. Do I include the gain into my gross income? If I include the gain in my gross income I'd be in the 25% bracket and have to pay 15% on the gain, but if I don't include the gain in my gross income I'd be in15% bracket and pay 5% on the gain. It seems I should figure out what bracket I'm in without including the gain to figure out what I should pay on the gain. Otherwise I'd be paying captial gains tax and regular income tax on the gain.
Asked by wesred55 - Mon Feb 12 13:56:05 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The capital gain itself must be included in taxable income for the purpose of determining your tax bracket. There aren't any indications in the IRS publications/instructions that capital gains should be excluded from taxable income for tax calculation purposes. If you are preparing your own return, it might be helpful to fill out the Capital Gain Tax Worksheet to verify the tax for your particular situation. You can find the worksheet on Page 38 of the 2006 1040 instructions (second link below). Good luck! :-)

How can I figure out how many games a baseball team won/lost with a particular player playing?

A. Easy. Go to the website www.baseballreference.com . Search for the player you want to look up, then look for a dropdown box called "Gamelogs" (it's right above the batting/pitching statistics and right below the sponsor and biographical information and next to "splits") Select the year you want to look at. Scroll down the page a bit and in bold you'll see "Team record in appearances" and "team record in starts". Below is a random example of the gamelogs page:

How should I figure out what motors I need to rotate this ball?
Q. I have a machine with 3 wheels 120 degrees apart from eachother, basically making an equilateral triangle. when this machine runs you put a baseall on top of these 3 wheels, and the wheels spin in certain ways to make the ball rotate in 3 different directions. Right now I have 3 very strong motors connected to these wheels that spin the ball. I am now trying to make a prototype that will be economical and need to figure out how strong these motors need to be at minimum. How should I figure this out. Is there some calculations I can do or, is it just going to be trial and error?
Asked by JoeSchmoe - Sun Jul 22 19:16:16 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Trial and error may be the easiest way. Otherwise you go through analyses of weight, friction, ball contour (especially seam height), etc. Not knowing what speeds you want and what, if any, gearing you're using, it's hard for me to say anything about actual power, but when you say "very strong" I assume you're talking more than tenths of a watt, which is the range I envision your final system using. If your current motors are way too large you probably can't get useful info on loading, but if you can measure the electric power they use compared to no-load running at about the same speed, you just might get some useful data.

Why don't you cook 1/2 cup and rinse and chill all of it after it's cooked...then refrigerate half of it (plain) for use within a few days. Or make a double batch of your recipe except for the fruit.

A. You won't be able to except step-by-step. Interest is figured on the remaining balance, which changes (at least) monthly. 17.99% yearly is approx. 1 1/2% per month, plus fees, late fees, etc. The .04929 is the daily rate (17.99% divided by 365 days). If you want to ball-park it, use the 1 1/2% per month rate. Multiply the remaining balance by .015, and you'll make a pretty good stab at what the statement will say for any one month.

Is it too late for me to start figure skating?
Asked by Meaghan - Sun Dec 16 15:32:49 2007 - - 4 Answers - 9 Comments
A. no course its not too late :) i know people who have started in their 60's! i also started at 14, and have been skating now for about 10 months. granted most people start when they are very young (one girl i know is about 4 and I'm sure she'll be an Olympic skater!) but i think its good to start older too. granted littler children have a lot of fearlessness, but i think its easier to comprehend some of the skills when you're a little older. you don't have to compete if you don't want to, you could just take the level tests or skate for fun. its up to you, if you're dedicated, have money to spare (it gets pretty expensive :P) and love for the sport then why not start :D group lessons are great for beginners and you can make heaps of new… [cont.]

Q. I am 14 years old and I love figure skating. I watch it when ever it is on tv and know so much about it. I really want to start figure skating lessons but is it too late too? I'm flexiable and would work really hard but most people start when they are young. I'm not sure if I want to compete or anything. I will probabley just skate for fun. Is it too late for me to start figure skating?

How do you figure out where a toilet is leaking.?
Q. One of my apartments has a very slow leak in the toilet. I don't know exactly where it's coming from because there seems to be condensation on everything. How do I figure out where the leak is? What kind of tool kit do I need to be a toilet fixing extraordinaire?

A. turn the water to the toilet off, flush it. refill the tank with warm water. dry up everything thats wet.. wait a bit and look for water. It may very well just be the condensation dripping. sometimes adding a package of unsweetened kool aid helps locate leaks, it's easier to see and helps you figure out if it is the condensation or an actual leak. I prefer cherry but ocean berry blast is good too, what exactly is an ocean berry? if nothing leaks while it is just sitting there, it may be leaking from where the tank and bowl connect. so it leaks only when flushed. re build the tank or at the least replace the doughnut gasket. Screwdriver, straight. wrenches, 9/16 & 1/2 and maybe 7/16 (deep well sockets are ok too) channel locks.… [cont.]

How do you figure out how cold or hot something is in Fahrenheit if something is Celsius?

A. To convert C to F... X degrees C becomes... (X * 9/5)+32 To convery back from Y degrees F (Y-32)*5/9 So 25 C = 25*9/5 +32 = 77F

How do I figure out the prices of toggles, wire and crimping beads without going to walmart?
Q. I've searched the whole walmart website and haven't found any place to figure out what the prices are for -0.30mm silver wire (7 strands - 40 ft.) -mainstay crafts Toggles Barettes (16 piece) -60 piece crimping metal beads (small) Please help me if you can. thank you!

A. The prices of the wire and crimping beads are going to depend on what they're made of. If they are real silver, they'll be more expensive than cheaper stuff like steel, nickel, or silver-plated metal. I've never heard of the barrettes you're talking about, but you might try looking for all these items at other hobby stores, like and Since these places specialize in these sorts of hobbies, they will probably have a better selection than Wal-Mart.
