Is 'ad' a word?

You could start with 'am' and get there the same way though.

Yes ad is a word.

Yes ad is a word.

ad

That's an abbreviation, not a true word surely?

You boring barstewards :rofl:

It has been adopted as a word. Check the dictionary.

It is in my dictionary but it says it's an abreviation.

 

ad n, colloq, advertisement. [abbr.]

how did u work that out mate?

 

Call the first unknown number A and the second unknown number B

 

A = B/7 and A x B = 448

so B/7 x B = 448

so B²/7 = 448

so B² = 448 x 7

so B²=3136

so B = √3136

so B = 56

 

and A = B/7

so A = 56/7

so A = 8

 

is one way (not the quickest).
