I don't know how to get the answer... :oops:

algebra is fastest.

6x + 4x = 30.
10x = 30
x = 3

chickens = 6x = 18
ducks = 4x =12

You would still have to understand what :\"The number of chickens in each of the six baskets was equal to the number of ducks in each of the four baskets\" means?

:nailbite: P4 learning algebra?

During CNY a parent bandied this Pri 2 qn about:


An 11 yr old little girl asked an older lady how old she was. Her reply \"When you are my age I will be 35. So how old am I now?\"

Short qn but no less difficult. Certainly requires a gd grasp of the english language!

the adults were twisting their heads around it... I managed to figure out the answer thru trial and error in a few mins... but without heuristics training I really wonder how I'm gonna teach my kid this... sigh.

but if u draw the model, it'll be very clear.

I donch know how. Donch like too. SIGH SIGH SIGH. have to go and learn all these model model back to sch when i have another method of solving it. parents need to be so WEI DA.

Erm... what's the answer?

The answer is 23. The lady is currently 23 yo. Rite? But I dunno how to use models.


11 + 12 = 23
23 + 12 = 35

Wah!! So difficult qns at that level har??


I don't know how to do the qns without using algebra!! :((

I ask my ds. He said 23. 35-11=24 . then he said 24÷2=12 then add by 11 which is 23.
