The difference between the ares of two rectangles 2016-06-09
Ingrid pose la question :
I am trying to help my son with an area question.
I have the answer, from the solutions, but I cannot figure out how to teach him.

Question:

Two rectangles have lengths 13cm and 19cm respectively.
Their total area is 376cm squared.
If both their widths are whole numbers, what is the difference in their areas?

I know that this is solvable once I determine the widths of the rectangles ,
but how do I go about finding that?

Thanks for your help

Multiples 2012-05-28
Kenneth pose la question :
If I understand correctly , a multiple is a product of two numbers. For example some of the multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, etc. I just multiplied 6 by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Are the multiples of a fraction, for example, 2/3, determined in the same way? Are they 2/3, 4/3, 6/3, 8/3, 10/3, etc., or are they instead, 2/3, 4/6, 6/9, 8/12, 10/15, etc.?

Or do fractions have no multiples?

Investing in multiple accounts 2009-06-26
Kenneth pose la question :
Hello:

If an investor has $1000.00 to invest in multiple accounts, and he wants a total return of 4%, is there one calculation that can be used to determine what these amounts could be even though there may be numerous amounts used as answers for most of the following examples?

For example,
Invest $1000.00 @ 2% and 5% for total return of 4%.
Invest $1000.00 @ 2%, 3% and 5% for total return of 4%.
Invest $1000.00 @ 2%, 3%, and 5% for total return of 4%.

Confusion in a multiple choice question 2008-11-14
BJ pose la question :
My son got this math problem which he could mostly solve. Here it is:

The highest location in a certain country is 4525 m above sea level. The lowest point in the same country is 192 m below sea level.

a) Find the difference of the two elevations. His answer: a-(-b)= a+b or 4525-(-192)= 4525+192=4717 m. No problem.

b) A city is 2221 m above sea level. Is this elevation closer to the highest point or the lowest point? His answer: highest point because: 4525-2221= 2304 m (closest to the highest point) and 2221-(-192)=2221+192= 2413 m. (farthest to the lowest point). OK so far.

But then he was given 4 choices for this question with no other information:

a) 4717 m; lowest b) 4333 m; lowest c) 4333 m; highest d) 4717 m; highest

What does it mean? What's the connection with the rest of the problem?

A multiple choice exam 2008-09-13
Phalange pose la question :
A multiple choice exam consists of 12 questions, each having 5 possible answers. To pass, you must answer at least 9 out of 12 questions correctly. What is the probability of passing if:
a. You go into the exam without knowing a thing, and have to resort to pure guessing?
b. You have studied enough so that on each question, 3 choices can be eliminated. But then you have to make a pure guess between the remaining 2 choices.
c. You have studied enough so that you know for sure the correct answer on 2 questions. For the remaining 10 questions you have to resort to pure guessing.
