Tank A is half-filled with water and Tank B is empty. The length of Tank B is twice Tank A and its breadth is one-third of Tank A. The heights of both tanks are the same. What fraction of Tank B will be filled if all the water in Tank A is poured into Tank B?

Length twice means height is divided by 2, breath is 1/3 means its multiply by 3.
Therefore final height is 1/2 / 2 = 1/4 X 3 = 3/4
Paul and Peter picked eggs from conveyor belts, A and B, respectively at the same time. If Paul picked 36 eggs per minute and Peter picked 18 eggs per minute, there would be 144 eggs left on the Conveyor belt A, when all the eggs were picked from Conveyor belt B. If Peter picked 40 eggs per minute and Paul picked 20 eggs per minute, there would be 432 eggs left on Conveyor belt A when all the eggs were picked from conveyor belt B. How many eggs were there on the 2 conveyor belts?

Belt B l____l____l
Belt A l____l____l____l____l__144__l ( first scenario )
Belt A l____l________432_________l ( second scenario )
The above model is made possible only after you have realised one thing, Paul's egg picking speed was twice of Peter in the first scenario, and half of Peter's egg picking speed in the second scenario.
3 units + 144 = 432
= > 1 unit =96
Belt A = 1 unit + 432 = 96 + 432 = 528 eggs
Belt B = 2 units = 96 X 2 = 192 eggs

Good, this time no mistake.
Keep up the good work.
Fail does not equal failure.
A student should not be taught to be feared of the word fail.
Instead, a student should be taught to learn from mistakes and emerge stronger.
Many fails with a positive attitude will eventually lead to a success NOT a failure if one can learn from the many mistakes made and emerge stronger
Seow lah does not mean trying to pick a quarrel.
The use of seow lah is just like crazy lah.
I said that you should learn from Mikethm but you twisted it to say that I want you to learn from me. This is another mistake.
I spent more than one hour to read through your more than 1500 posts to find out more about you.
You are just a part-time tutor aka NUS undergraduate claiming to be an "educator" who helps to answer in the questions in homework forum in the hope of being appointed as a moderator. You ask the moderator Eagle in one of your post how to be a moderator in Homework forum but you did not get any reply from Eagle.
Though you have a motive in helping out, your effort should still be commended.
PS : I have said my piece, the moderator Eagle, please delete my post now.
Thank you.

U are just here to ask for a fight aren't you? If you are not here to help those who need help, just get out of here. What does a person motive have to do with u?
A mod in the forum is to work extra for free, mods do not get paid and all they can do it edit and lock threads so why do u care so much about who wants and not want to be a mod?
Spending time to read all 1.6k of his post, u really super free or u wanna stalk people is it? Haven't seen anyone who is so free and bo liao enough to do that. Now wanna go read through my 2.4k post and learn more about me as well so you can flame?

dkcx, You talk like Forbiddensinner.
Are you a clone of Forbiddensinner ?
Am I flaming anything ?
I just made a simple comment that Mikethm's answer is incorrect and my choice of words have not been appropriate.

I know seow means crazy. To call people crazy just because they made some mistakes is being very offensive and disrespectful.
You have no idea how by calling children "fail" or "failure" will affect them, because you have never taught them yourself before. I teach mainly Pri School level children and I know well enough how these so called "simple words" can negatively affect them and their performance.
The highlighted sentence above shows your arrogrance. The truth is anyone who teaches is an educator, am I wrong to say that?
If I have a motive, I will be focusing my time here only instead of posting around the entire sgforums.
The reason why I wanted to be a mod here instead of anywhere else is because I thought that I will be able to contribute more here than anywhere else. As a mod, I will be able to help clear up flame-bait posts like yours and lock up irrelevant threads posted here.
I know you probably think that I wanted to be a mod because of the power to ban others or whatsoever, but the only two people who could actually ban others and move threads across forums are Jason and Fi fi.
dkcx is obviously not a clone of mine if you have been reading up every single one of my post. In fact, we even have debates and arguments now and then in the past over educational matters and my own lifestyle.
You ask for me to be humble and apologize, but what about yourself?
I just made a simple comment that Mikethm's answer is incorrect and my choice of words have not been appropriate. You posted this, yet I don't remember you even apologizing once to Mikethm for your unruly behaviour, hence it shows your arrogance once again. What you mean was that your words are inappropriate, but you are not wrong.
I apologize once again to the mods for causing so much unneeded trouble here, and I hope you will forgive me for arguing with this troll and stirring up this whirlpool of argument.
I believe that this troll will not let matters rest so easily, and if there is a need, I will humbly ask Fi fi directly to kindly interevene and help out.
Regards,
Forbiddensinner

Yes, time will tell whether you are a clone of Forbiddensinner.
Whether you as a forbiddensinner or as a clone, dkcx, you are still contributing to the homework forum and indeed you have helped answered many questions in the homework forum albeit some mistakes in your answers.
As I have said before that though you have a motive for helping out, your effort should still be commended.
OK, I shall rest my case now and I will not post anymore on this issue. Sayonara.
PS : Based on the posts, people can draw their own conclusions.

Let me tell you this - If you are to continue with your flamebaits, you will be permanently barred from this forum soon enough.
Your arrogance is really unbelievable and unbearable, sooner or later you will find yourself in a situation where you will have to swallow up your own pride. Mark my words, if you do not change your attitude, you will end up dealing with a lot of unneeded problems.
