I'm glad to see that schools are finally starting to teach practical math
that these kids can use in real-world situations! It's about time!

1. Ram?n has an AK-47 with a 30-round clip. He usually miss 6 of every 10
shot and he use 13 rounds per drive-by shootin. How many drive-by shootins
can Ram?n hit before he reload?
2. Leroy has 2 ounce of cocaine. If he sell an 8 ball to Antonio for $320
and 2 gram to Juan for $85 per gram, what be the street value of the rest of
his poop?
3. Dwayne pimp 3 ho's. If the price is $85 per trick, how many trick per
day must each ho turn to support Dwayne's $800 per day Crack habit?
4. Raul want to cut the pound of cocaine he bought for $40,000 to make 20%
profit. How many ounce bags will he need to make to gets the 20% upside?
5. Desmond get $200 for a stolen BMW, $150 for stealing a Corvette, and $100
for a 4x4. If he steal 1 BMW, 2 Corvettes and 3 4x4's, how many more
Corvettes must he steal to have 900 bills?
6. Pedro got 6 year for murder. He also got $10,000 for the hit. If his
common-law wife spend $100 of his hit money per month, how much money will
be left when he get out?
7. If an average can of spray paint covers 22 square feet and the average
letter is 3 square feet, how many letter can be sprayed with 3 - 8 oz. can
of spray paint with 20% paint left over?
8. Tyrone knocked up 4 girls in the gang. They be 20 girls in his gang.
What be the percentage of gripees Tyrone knocked up?

NEWPORT, Ark. - Good math teachers always try to make the material accessible to their students. Well, maybe they shouldn't always.
The Arkansas Department of Correction has reprimanded one of its math instructors after he substituted units of cocaine and methamphetamine while testing inmates on their multiplication skills.
Instead of using apples and oranges to calculate ratios, the instructor at the Grimes Unit prison used rocks of cocaine and meth ingredients. Among the questions:
--"Rico sells 422 rocks per week in four different territories. He wants to expand to seven different territories. If he continues to sell at the same rate, how many rocks per week will he sell in seven territories?" The answer? Why, 738.5 rocks, of course.
The teacher, for another question, also gave the formula for making meth as part of a word problem.
Correction Department spokeswoman Dina Tyler said that while it is proper to help inmates work toward high school diplomas, the method selected wasn't. She also said the teacher would have received an A for his meth production calculation. The teacher said he learned the equation from his students, Tyler said. "Which makes sense," Tyler said. "They're the ones who would know."
