Question 1206869: A cookie baker has an automatic mixer that turns out a sheet of dough in the shape of a square 12 inches wide. His cookie cutter cuts 3-inch diameter circular cookies as shown at right. The supervisor complained that too much dough was being wasted and ordered the baker to find out what size cookie would have the least amount of waste.
~Analyze this situation and determine how much cookie dough is "wasted" when 3-inch cookies are cut. Then have each team member find the amount of dough wasted when a cookie of a different diameter is used. Compare your results.
~Write a note to the supervisor explaining your results. Justify your confusions

I am very sorry, but to me, this post seems to be idiotic.

First, it refers to a diagram "as shown at right", but in reality, there are no any diagram in the post.

Second, the post instructs "have each team member" to do something, but I do not know who are
these team members and how to communicate with them.

Third, it instructs to write a note to the supervisor, but does not provide his or her address.
Should I write my note to United Nations ?

If I see similar gibberish in the future, I will delete such posts without explanations.
In addition, I will write to the managers of this project asking them to rid the forum of such writers.


Have a nice day and think in the future, what do you post to the forum.
