Homework Question For 8 Year Old Baffles Adults …See If You Can Solve It
Here’s the math behind the problem. To find the number of small dogs signed up for the dog show, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let’s say the number of large dogs is x and small dogs as “y”
According to the problem, the number of small dogs is 36 more than the number of large dogs, so the number of small dogs would be x + 36.
The total number of dogs signed up is 49, so we can write the equation as x + x + 36 = 49.
Combining like terms, we get 2x + 36 = 49.
Subtracting 36 from both sides, we have 2x = 13.
Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we find x = 6.5.
Since we can’t have a fractional number of dogs, we round down to the nearest whole number, which gives us x = 6.
Therefore, there are 6 large dogs and 6 + 36 = 42 small dogs signed up for the dog show.
