Thanks Lucie and Soo ling.

OOOps!Saw the picture wrongly :( Mistook the pic of the boy for the girl & vice versa. Blind me! :( So my given answer should be the reverse, i.e. girl = 37, boy = 11 :)

But y must u divide by 2??cos they nvr said both of them r equal right??

37+11=48 and 37-11=26

Susan Lim Yap, your child's drawing of the model in your photo is a correct start. The idea after that is to create equal units. That is why we subtract 26 from the total (48). After subtracting the 'extra' part, we get equal units (equal bars) and then divide 22 by 2. It may help your child if a dotted line is drawn on the longer bar to show where the quantity 26 goes to. The idea of equal units would be more visual.

U means unit?

Ok i fully understand nw...u means unit..tks

2 pony tails girls = 48+26 = 74 1 pony tails girl = 74/2 = 37 The boy = 48-37 =11

yes boy 11 and girl 37

There must be two assumptions for this question: 1. There is at least one of each animal (parrot/terrapin/spider). 2. We do not count the 4 legs of John and Mary. Going by the first assumption, 1 parrot + 1 terrapin + 1 spider = total of 12 legs. That leaves 46 legs among 12 animals remaining. The only combination to have 46 legs among 12 animals is 1 parrot + 11 terrapins. So there are 2 parrots, 12 terrapins, 1 spider in total. Thus the answer is 12 terrapins and 1 spider.

Woops I was too hasty. More ways to get 46 legs between 12 animals. Eg 2 parrots, 9 terrapins, 1 spider.

So there are multiple solutions for this question, unless more information is provided or assumptions made. 2P 12T 1S 3P 10T 2S 4P 8T 3S 5P 6T 4S 6P 4T 5S 7P 2T 6S

Thanks 😊 yup instead very confusing ...there are so many solutions to these questions ...I find it hard to explain to my girl ...It needs some time to solve this question which I worried if this question appear in exam

If this is one of those challenging questions in assessment books for students to practise thinking out of the box, that's fine. Otherwise, if it is an exam or practise question set by schools, it is flawed. Schools are required to set unambiguous questions with only one clear solution that can be solved by methods that are taught (not using guess and check at levels higher than P4)

Thanks

Hope this will help you to prompt/guide your child to solve the problem.
