Two problems 2010-05-27
debbie pose la question :

Question from debbie, a parent:

hi, i have a daughter and she asked me a maths question I cannot solve. I was just wondering if you can give me the answers plus the working out so I could explain to my daughter,

1. The leftmost digit of a six-digit number N is 1. If this digit is removed and then written as a rightmost digit, the number thus obtained is three times N .Find N.

2. Four friends are racing together down a flight of stairs. A goes 2 steps at a time, B 3 steps at a time. C 4 steps at a time and D 5 steps at a time. The only steps which all four tread on are the top one and the bottom one. How many stairs in the flight were stepped on exactly once?

Fibonacci numbers 2008-01-30
Beth pose la question :
You've answered a question for a Linda Bach on Oct. 25, 1999 that has to do with a pet rabbit and stairs. (Working Backwards) We were wandering if there is a formula we can use to plug the numbers in? My 7th grader got that exact same problem. I've spent several hrs trying to come up with a formula. I've tried the combinations formula, the Pascal's triangle and the Permutations formula. It seems like it is something real close to those, but can't quite get anything to work. What kind of formula would work for finding the outcome of this problem? Thanks so much for your help. Beth

The stair problem 2005-12-06
Arnold pose la question :

My daughter had me help her with some of her college math problems that require finding the pattern. The problem was the stair problem where you can climb either 1 step or 2 steps at a time. How many combinations are there to get to the 10th step. I found the data set that solves the answer to the question, but is there an equation that expresses the answer in terms of n?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 stair number
1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 number of possible combinations

Clown has eight steps to climb 2002-11-05
A mom pose la question :
I'm a parent of a grade two student. What is the best way to help my son figure out a math comprehension problem?

Clown has eight steps to climb, is shown in a picture with front foot on third step and behind foot on first step. Each time he climbs three steps, he falls back two. How many times did he have to climb up to reach the top.

Should I get him to do a line graph or math equations. On his own he came up with the answer seven. I think the answer is six. I did 0+3=3, 3-2=1, 1+3=4 and so on, In think my why is alittle confusing to him. Is there a simplier why to explain it to him.
