Gang: The Railroad Trackers

1. Johnny has an AK-47 with an 80-round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive-by shooting, how many drive-by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?
He can ATTEMPT 6 drive-by shootings.

Johnny hits 15 x (4/10) people per drive by, which means that he will have to participate in 9 drive bys to shoot 50 people. However, he will have completed two drive-by shootings and be just starting the third when he has to reload. Since he only stole a single clip, he'll only have shot 16 people when the homeboys with the uzis make Swiss cheese out of him.

2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8-ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram. What is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it?
Jose has 51.1990462 grams left after sale. If he's selling the cocaine per gram for $85, the street value of the balance is $4,351.92. If he's selling the cocaine per gram as sold to Jackson through the 8-ball, the street value of the balance is $4,681.06.

At 454 grams per pound, 2oz of the rock = 56.75 grams. An "8-ball" is 8 grams, so Jose has sold 10 grams total and has 46.75 grams left. If he keeps selling 8-balls, he can sell 5 more (for a total of 5 x $320 = $1,600) and have 6.75 grams for his own nose. If he sells 2 gram packs, he can sell (46/2=23) packs at $85 apiece = (23 x $85)=$1,955.

3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800-per-day crack habit?
Assuming the girls equally turn tricks, each girl will have to turn 4.2 tricks per day to support Rufus's crack habit.

800/$64=12 tricks plus a dance, though technically either answer is correct.

Correct.

4. Jarone want to cut his 1/2 pound of heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?
1.6 ounces.

If he sells the cut heroin at the same price per unit volume, he will need 20% more volume. 20% of 1/2 pound (=8oz) is 1.6oz. So, Jarone will need 1.6oz of cut to add to the 8 oz of heroin to get 20% more volume. He will want a cut which looks similar to raw heroin and has approximately the same melting point. Plain sugar or laundry detergent are suggested. Laundry detergent has the added benefit of removing the possibility of customer complaints, but will sharply limit repeat business.

Correct.

5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy, and $100 for a 4X4. If he has stolen 2 BMWs, 3 4X4s, how many Chevies will he have to steal to make $800?
Two.

Willie has made 2 x $200 + 3 x $100=$700 dollars from his theft so far. He needs $100 more, so he needs to steal $100/$50=2 more Chevy's. However, he will probably want to steal 4 Chevy's so he can take the extra two and make a really def low-rider.

Correct.

6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much money will be left when he gets out of prison and how many years will he get for killing the bitch that spent his money?
$2,800 will be left when Raoul gets out. He's likely get more than 6 years for killing the bitch, as the judge in his case will realise that it was not his first murder offence and will sentence him less leniently.

Correct, but there are many variables here. If Raoul kills her in the USA, he should expect to get 6 years. However, if he takes her down to Mexico and buries her scrawny, track-marked ass in the desert, he can get off scot free.

7. If the average spray can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?
22 letters.

3 cans of paint will cover 3 x 22=66 square feet. 66/3=22 letters with a little paint left over to spray in the eyes of the cop who's comin' after you. Or the tagger could do 21 letters and a bitchin' skull.

Correct.

8. Hector knocked up 6 girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?
22.22 percent.

6/27=22% of the girls. However, 2 of them are lying because they've been sleeping with Pedro, Hector's lieutenant. So, in actuality, Hector only knocked up 4/27 or 14.8%.

So, Correct, but also with variables could be False.

9. Thelma can cook dinner for her 16 children for $7.50 per night. She gets $234 a month welfare for each child. If her $325 per month rent goes up 15%, how many more children should she have to keep up with her expenses?
Her new rent is $373.75 per month. Assuming there are 31 days in a month, you can add expenses of feeding her children of $232.50 per month. Her expenses now $606.25 per month.

She is already receiving $3,744 in welfare per month. Thema doesn't need to have any more children.

Jeez, you're good. >:(

Correct.

10. Salvador was arrested for dealing crack and his bail was set at $25,000. If he pays a bail bondsman 12% and returns to Mexico, how much money will he lose by jumping bail?
$3,000.

Easy one.

Correct.

BONUS ROUND LOLOMG

11. Rosie's sole source of income is shoplifting. If she gets 10 cents on the dollar from her fence, how much merchandise must she shoplift each week to make $250?

12. Mike carjacked a Chevy Camaro for his date Saturday night with his 14 year old girlfriend. He was arrested that night while fucking his girlfriend in the backseat. How much prison time is he looking at for the carjacking and for statutory rape, even though the girl looked legal? Assume no prior convictions in arriving at your answer. Mike is twelve years of age.

13. Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. When will the watermelon hit the ground? (Note: this was an actual question on an LA Exam.)

14. Billy steals Joe's skateboard. As Billy skates away at 35 mph, Joe loads his 357 Magnum. If it takes Joe 20 seconds to load his magnum, how far away will Billy be when he gets whacked?

15. Bernie is a lookout for the gang. Bernie has a boa constrictor that eats 3 small rats per week at a cost of $5 per rat. If Bernie makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can he feed the boa on one week's income?

Captain_jack you are wrong, even if time=distance/velocity when you through a watermelon you have to considere tha gravity. which is an aceleration. its 1 AM so i dont want to do the maths but you are wrong sry. and actually when he loads up the magnum the distance you said is correct but the bullet also has to travel but since we dont have the speed of the bullet we cant make any further calculations. unless we had a table with the speed of that gun. and im metric myself too since im mexican.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s/s. The difference in this case is extremely negligible and the watermelon would still take roughly 15 seconds to hit the ground.

Try it for yourself.

the question is a projectile motion question.
the equation you are using is completly irrelivant and does not apply to the question in any way.
you would need to use the equations of projectile motion.

The gravity is not neglectible and i know the bullet speed is too damn fast but if you want to be precise then you should take it in fact. and as the post before mine said you need projectile equations. not those. and what if im mexican?

1. Johnny has an AK-47 with an 80-round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive-by shooting, how many drive-by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?

80 bullets/13 bellets per driveby= 6.15 drivebys, Thus he can preform 6 drivebys and must reload on the 7th.

2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8-ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram. What is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it?

Yo, where is Jose, he wasn't in class today.

3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800-per-day crack habit?

If each girl does the same number of tricks. And Rufus keeps $65 that is 4 tricks a day, per ho.

4. Jarone want to cut his 1/2 pound of heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?

Imperial system loving bitches, Crips are metric.

5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy, and $100 for a 4X4. If he has stolen 2 BMWs, 3 4X4s, how many Chevies will he have to steal to make $800?

2.

6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much money will be left when he gets out of prison and how many years will he get for killing the bitch that spent his money?

6 times 12 times 100 is 7200.
10,000 - 7,200 = 2,800.
You that bitch be trippin if she thinks she gonna be loafin on my cash.

7. If the average spray can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?

22 times 3can = 66.
66, fuck yeah.

8. Hector knocked up 6 girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?

6/27 is 22.2 repeating percent.

9. Thelma can cook dinner for her 16 children for $7.50 per night. She gets $234 a month welfare for each child. If her $325 per month rent goes up 15%, how many more children should she have to keep up with her expenses?

7.50 times 29 = 217.5$ a month per kid times 16 kids 3480$.
234 times 16 = 3744$
325 times 1.15 = 373.75

3480 + 373.75 = 3853.75

3853.75 - 3744 = she needs 109.75.

Thelma needs one more kid, tell her to stay the fuck away from me though, no way I'm paying any fucking money for that whore.

10. Salvador was arrested for dealing crack and his bail was set at $25,000. If he pays a bail bondsman 12% and returns to Mexico, how much money will he lose by jumping bail?

25,000 times 0.12 = 3000.

Hah, we both know Salvador sold the rest of his stash before he ditched he still left with a profit of at least $11,000

well let me think of it. as im in metric system im not sure but i remember in parabolic forces that you had to calculate both vertical and horisontal forces. since we dont have horizontal those are worthless. but for the vertical it was a really rare ecuation so i dont know it by heart, but it was too long and im sure it wasnt V=d/t.

sry i cant help you more, let me google it and i will tel you.

well acording to my research the distance formula for vertical is y=y0+Voy*T+(1/2)(-g)(t^2) where Y is distance Y0 is the initial distance (top of the roof), V0y the initial velocity on the vertical axis (which is the same force when you threw it)T is time (obiusly) g is gravity and thats it. but i cant calculate without metric system plus its 2:30 AM XD.

I'm thinking the equation would be (20-32x)x+300=0
that would mean the melon hit the ground in 3.39 seconds, at which point it was traveling at 187 ft/s.
Of course this is without taking air resistance into consideration.

If you want to be that percise you might want to include air resistance, presure, friction, and heat.

Actuall it depends on how far you are from the center of earth, but yes we consider it to be -9.8m/s^2

A. - There's no such thing as an 80 round clip for the AK-47.

B. - Willie is an idiot if he's only getting $50 for stealing a popular brand of vehicles.

C. - Hector is a horny idiot who's going to get his balls cut off by one of those girls he cheated on. Never mess with a gangsta-bitch.
