Re: Maths
The only way I can approach these things is by giving each item a value.Ann-m wrote:In a game wizard is twice as powerful as an elf,an elf is 5 time as powerful as a trall,and a troll is one and half times as powerful as a dwarf. How many times more powerful than adwarf is a wizard?
Eg, make wizard 60. What would that make elf? And so on.

Re: Maths
How about the following
W = 2E
E = 5T
T = 1.5D
So W = 2 * 5 * 1.5 D
= 15 D
Wizard is 15 times more powerful than dwarf
W = 2E
E = 5T
T = 1.5D
So W = 2 * 5 * 1.5 D
= 15 D
Wizard is 15 times more powerful than dwarf

Re: Maths
Like Toadmum said, easiest to work backwards and start with the dwarf.
So D = 1
T = 1.5 etc.
So D = 1
T = 1.5 etc.
Re: Maths
I'm glad that my suggestion turned out to be your way this time . Although momentarily having forgotten that a dwarf was part of the question I wondered why one would have to find one to get numbers from itGuest55 wrote:Algebra is not needed here - it's easiest to work backwards with numbers from a dwarf.masari_pirates wrote: W = 2E
