Math Problem of the Week
Greetings!
Here is this week's problem:
Abby and Barry share some land. The ratio of the area of Abby's portion to Barry's is 3:2. Both grow corn and peas on their portion. The entire piece of land is planted in corn and peas in the ratio of 7:3. On Abby's land, the ratio of corn to peas is 4:1. Find the ratio of corn to peas on Barry's land.
Congratulations to Ian Fury for submitting the first correct response to last week's puzzle: 82%. Congratulations also to Jaewon L., Marcus H. and Mrs. Charlotte Wietzke for also submitting the correct response.
Here is last week's puzzle once again:
On Monday, 10% of the students at NELHS were absent. On Tuesday, 10% of those absent on Monday were present, and the rest were still
absent. Also, 10% of those who were present on Monday were absent,
and the rest were still present. What percentage of the students were
present on Tuesday?
Happy Math!
