As worded, the question is Gibberish.


If I see similar nonsense in the future, such posts will be deleted.

My comment regarding @greenestamps comment.

            Be sure that I will delete such posts in the future, as soon as I see them.


@greenestamps,  I read  SO  MANY  articles and books in  English,  related to Math and Engineering,  that the ratio
to what you read will be somewhere  10 : 1,

and these articles and books taught me to distinct true  English from gibberish.


So, I think I do not need your advocacy - - - and I did not ask about it.

            To the autor of this post - For your personal attention.


The new month started,  and I observe today a huge flow of nonsensical posts,  bringing gibberish.


I will collect the links to such nonsensical posts, and if I will see that the flow of nonsense is continuing,
then I will write to the managers of this project
asking then to  REMOVE  the autors of these posts from their positions and  REPLACE  them
for their inability to provide a correct input.

            You are warned.

You need to forgive tutor @ikleyn -- English is not her native language, so sometimes she doesn't read it very well....

Her average walking rate is 4mph; her average speed walking rate is 5mph. The question asks what percentage 4mph is of 5mph.

4/5 = 0.80, converted to a percent is 80%.

ANSWER: Her average walking rate is 80% of her speed walking rate.
