[Blindmath] Question

[John Gardner]

There is no way to answer this question because of the graphics.  If it were
words, the conversion is not too hard to calculate.  Standard braille paper
permits more or less 40 characters by 25 lines = 1000 characters.  An 8.5x11
page with 1 inch margins and 12 point font permits approximately 80
characters per line by 60 lines = 4800 characters.  One can easily
rreformat, use smaller font, and get 6000 characters per page.  So roughly
speaking one print page equals 5 or 6 braille pages.

So you should request at least ten braille pages for equivalency to one
print page back and front.

Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,

I have a geometry exam next week and my teacher told us that we 
can use one sheet of notebook paper front and back for anything 
that we don't feel comfortable with or are a little unsure of.  
So my question is, how many pages is that in Braille? I've heard 
that for every page and Braille is only is only half a page in 
print, but sence geometrry have so much pictures, wouldn't that 
take up more space than words?

I hope this makes sence.  And I have to do it because my teacher 
is grading it as a quiz grade.

Thanks,
Winona
