Kumon 1998-11-09
Kathy Steele pose la question :
Perhaps I am not spelling this correctly,since there is nothing to be found on Kumin Math, but my search for info on this topic led to this site. My understanding is that it is a program of repeated drills. Do you have any additional information? I know that this will come up during Parent conferences since some of my Jr. High students are talking about it.

Divisibility by 11 1998-10-28
Pat Duggleby pose la question :
I am an upgrading instructor at a drop-in program in Regina. One of my students is taking General Math 30 through correspondence, and we have run into some confusing instructions. The section is about divisibility rules, and we did just fine up until the rule for Divisibility by 11. The statement is as follows:
If the difference between the sum of the odd-numbered digits and the sum of the even-numbered digits, counted from right to left, is divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

A Six Digit Number 1998-10-27
Craig Bedard pose la question :
If a certain six-digit number is split into two parts, one constituting the first three digits and the other the last three digits, and the two parts are added and the resultiong sum squared, it is found that the product is the original six digit number. What is the original six-digit number?

At first it seemed liked an impossible question, until it hit me...how long will it take you?

A Number Trick 1998-10-26
Brenda Meagher pose la question :
I'm a 37 year old mother and i have returned to school for personal reasons. I was faced with this question.
Choose any number less than 10, multiply it by 8547, then take your answer and multiply it by 13. I chose the number 8.

8547
x 8
--------
68376

and

68376
x 13
---------
205128
68376
---------
888888

Any number chosen from 1 to 9 will result in the same form of answer.If the number two is used you will end up with 222,222.etc So my question is, is there another number that will results in the answers.

A Linear System 1998-10-08
Jason Bussey pose la question :
The linear systems with the following pattern all have the same solution. Is their some kind of reasoning as to why this is so?

2x+3y=4
3x+4y=5

4x+5y=6
5x+6y=7

The solution is always x=-1, y=2

Thank you
