Anyone good at math? If one train leaves Oregon at 6pm going 45mph and a second train...

Actually, I need to know how many amps my fridge is. It's AC 115 Volts and 60 Hz.

I don't know how to convert this info to amps...

No techies on the board, eh?

Do you know the wattage? To find the amps I think you have to divide the wattage by the voltage.

W/V = A

Here's an Ohms Law calculator. Just enter the info and it'll do the math. Be careful though...I think a refrigerator pulls a higher amperage when the compressor comes on (that's when your lights might dim for a split second). Due to that, I think it'll have a "starting" amperage and a "running" amperage.

If you're the bus driver, and you pick up 5 passengers in Dallas, then pick up ten more in Austin, but you lose 3, then you pick up 20 in Baton Rouge, but lose five. After that, you pick up 10 more somewhere else, but lose 5....

This goes on for a while, you end up picking up 50 more passengers, but you lose 20 of those passengers...

Whats the bus drivers name?

Oh man...I'm a huge math geek, I was really excited to do these train problems, they're so much fun!

More into math math than science math though...sorry.
