England and other Germanic-speaking countries of northern Europe formerly used various standardised "stones" for trade, with their values ranging from about 5 to 40 local pounds (roughly 3 to 15 kg) depending on the location and objects weighed. With the advent of metrication, Europe's various "stones" were superseded by or adapted to the kilogram from the mid-19th century on.
]]>One thing you might like to consider is:
An object is said to weight one stone exactly.
1 stone = 14 pounds
1 kg = 2.20462 poundsHow much is one stone in kg ?
By kg or Kg or KG I mean kilograms that is to say 1000 grams.
"kilo" usually means 1000 of something.
1 stone is equal to 6.35029 kg and if you want to convert other numbers (stone) into kg.
]]>As well as finding the maths difficult, you seem to have a problem staying motivated and completing homework. So ask yourself this: Which way of working is more likely to serve the purpose of keeping you going?
A week has gone by since you first announced that you are back to try and get a GCSE in maths. I suggested in a reply to your email that you start reworking the homework set for you in this thread. How much actual maths have you done in that time?

]]>You are avoiding the important part. It doesn't matter what course you choose; what matters is whether you are willing to do the work. So here's a simple question:
How much mathematical work have you done since Jan 4th?
If the answer is none, then I think you need to re-think your resolution about trying to get GCSE maths. If you have done some then please tell me how you got on with it. What was successful and what do you need help with?

]]>As I hadn't heard from you for so long, I thought you had given up again. Since 4th January three people have made suggestions about work you could be doing and given you questions to try. By now you should have learnt how to do about 7 topics from the 94 on the list. So how are you getting on ? Have you done the questions in posts 1900 and 1902. What is the answer to the question about the geometry topic list in posts 1877 and 1883 ?
I have 'hit a brick wall' with gaining access to the functional skills course. I could probably get over it (the wall) but would have to call in some favours from colleagues so I have to know you are a serious student before I do that.
I seem to remember you enrolled for a GCSE course and were then advised to do the key stage 3 course first. How did you get on with that? Have you been awarded a key stage three level? Do you still have the option to re-start the GCSE course?
