172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eOS3PM7T4
MRS. JACKSON172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmseVlPlyrq
(shocked; to LENA) My goodness LENA... you are right? Well... well done. Explain your reasoning...
LENA172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2znplLzfbk
(to MRS. JACKSON) Well both fractions 2/4 and 2/4... have like denominators... so then you add the numerators. After that since 4 divided by 4 is 1 - the answer is 1...
MRS. JACKSON172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfApzFBjYQ
(Shocked to LENA) Well done LENA... that’s right...
(LENA smiles)
MRS. JACKSON172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqkUVUiGw

(To PRINCE) Incorrect PRINCE... (to LENA) And correct again LENA... well done... you’ve picked that up too fast...
PRINCE172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ0hKUtr30
(annoyed to himself) WHAT... DAMN... HOW...
MRS JACKSON172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeZFWDueFN
(to LENA) EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING ONCE AGAIN LENA...
LENA172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LP6glwl9
(explains to MRS JACKSON) Okay... again... the two fractions have like denominators.... so you add the numerators. However the fraction can not be reduced. The fraction would be the same as 13/4. 13/4 is evidently the same as 13 divided by 4. THEN we must convert the fraction to a mixed number using long number...
(LENA performs the long division formula on the whiteboard; this equaling to 3 1/4. MRS JACKSON is impressed).
MRS. JACKSON172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKi40cDODY
(smiles to LENA) Well done LENA... Your math skills are most superb...
PRINCE172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ynG4qwUM

(LENA still shy; becomes brave and stands up for herself to PRINCE)
LENA172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYYsegKW7M
(to PRINCE) Well it wasn’t right when you did it to me in ENGLISH class. I say payback. Intelligence is measured in all forms... some of us may be good at one thing; but may suck at another thing... It’s good to focus on SOMETHING YOU ARE GOOD AT...
(LEE smiles at LENA)
LEE172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdXeMalnyt

LEE172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYZcB7yMG
(annoyed to DUTY TEACHER) I’m sorry SIR... but I didn’t like PRINCE picking on LENA... He did in front of class; and now on lunch break... I find it rude and disgusting...
(PRINCE chuckles and stops holding his stomach. THE DUTY TEACHER looks firm at PRINCE in annoyance)
DUTY TEACHER172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnafTZzFizg
(firm to PRINCE) So what LEE is saying is right... is that correct?
(PRINCE chuckles... DUTY TEACHER grows angrily at his correct assumption)
