Math Word Problem


WHAT I KNOW
-At one location it takes Manny Kerr fiver hours to cut the entire lawn
-With the push mower but only 70 minutes with the powerful riding mower
-90% of the lawn was cut using the powerful riding mower
-How many minutes did it take Manny to cut the entire lawn?


70 mins = 1 hour and 10 mins 

takes 70 mins (1 hour and 10 mins) to cut the whole lawn (100%)

90% of 70 mins or 0.90*70= 63 mins (1 hour and 3 mins). Therefor it takes 63 mins (1 hour and 3 mins) to cut 90% of the lawn.

100%-90%=10%, therefor Manny using 10% of pushing mower.

Since it takes Manny 5 hours to complete to the whole lawn with push power and 60 mins (1 hour), we can do 5*60= 300 mins, therefor it takes 300 mins (5 hours) of the lawn with push power. 

Then you take 10% and 300 mins......0.10*300= 30 mins, so it takes Manny 30 mins to cut 10% of the lawn with the push mower. 

To get the total, you need to take 63 mins and 30 mins that will get you 93 mins (63+30=93 mins). Therefor it takes 93 mins (1 hour and 33 mins) to cut the entire lawn using powerful riding mower, 90% of the job is done and 10% of the job is done, therefor 90% + 10% = 100%. so 100% of the job is done. So the answer is 93 mins (1 hour and 33 mins).

Practical wisdom (phronesis) is an intellectual virtue, a virtue of practical practical practical practical reasoning. Aristotle draws a distinction between theoretical reason and practical reason (§1). Also it means listen to each other, hear each other out and always take advice from each other.

I agree with his argument because everything he said is basically true because, most people don't listen to each other, they just do whatever they want without thinking or without thinking what their friends or someone telling is the right thing and true, they need to hear each other out cause who knows the fact can be true and they can be telling the truth about it. HIs fact about when people don't want to listen, think, or hear each other out is very true. His message is just listen to each other, and help each other out because that's the right thing to do!

Well i have done practical wisdom, with my family that is and my friends. What i mean by that is that i don't listen to my family members and my friends. What I mean by that is that whenever my family member tell me to do something I don't do it cause I don't LISTEN to them or just don't hear what they are saying cause i'm listening to music. When my friends tell me not to do that i do it because i'm just being stupid or i don't know what's going to happen but what my friend are saying is very true, when they say not to do it don't do it! why? cause listening to your friends is the right thing to do because they are just protecting you and also listen to  your family member as well, your mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, whoever is it! listen to them, it's the right thing to do.... Always and if you don't get it you can always watch the video that is on the very top about how to be good and how practical wisdom is really explained. Thank you and i hope you understand what i am saying.
