Problem Of The Week
POW #3
Your are currently in New York you and your have decided to go to California, wouldn't this be the way you should go?
Not in this case. You have also decided to go with in a boat all around South America and over all It would take you six months over all.
My solution: was with in the 3th month you will first have to see your first ship then in the 4th month you'll see your secanned ship and after on you 5th month you'll see your fist ship and last you'll get there. So over all you'll have seen 4 ships over all.
Evaluation: how I understood this problem was just by thinking of the boat your on. So then I came up with 4 ships I would see.

Triangle theater
Problem Statement: This problem I talking about that I have got a ticket to the triangle theater and that I'am seating at seat 333 but also that my "friend" is buying tickets but she can't seat next to me. So now she has to seat at the seat in front of me. So what I'm going to do is to find out what's the number of seat she's seating at.
Process: One of the process I used was was drawing all of the seats all the way up to 333 and from then just go up a number and that number was 297. But before getting that answer I what I saw was on the left side was on the outside of the row was that the numbers were all 3,5,7,9,11,13 and so on. But how I really did this POW was my way. My way was starting from 340 then after going down until I got down to 333 then I keepet going down then I found that the number in front was 297.
Solution: What I did to get my answer was to go ask for help and to see if people had the same idea as I did and no one had it so i just did the pow my way and my answer was 297. but I did it many times and I keepet getting 297. but one other way I did this POW out of no where I got 298.
And those are the example I used form my friends. (Thank You)

Problem: Statement : Mr.Noah wants his Ark to sail along on even keel. The Ark is divided the middle, and on each deck the animals on the left exactly balance those on the right--all but the third deck. Can you figure out how many SEALS are needed in place of the question mark so that they (and the bear) balance the six zebras?
Process: My process for this POW was to first look at the left side of the boat with the 19 animals which were three elephant two kangaroos and also two bear six seals and six zebras. But on the other side two bears are the same as one elephant. And three zebras are equal to one bear. From that I can start saying that an elephant can be 12 and two of that is 6. And you need four twos to make six. That's all I need to know.
1E = 12lbs So over all three zebras is the
1B = 6lbs. same one bears. And two bears
1Z = 2lbs is the same as one elephant.
Solution: My solution for this POW was six seals on the right side of the boat. And I look around and ask around for what was there answer to the problem so people said two seals.

Ducks and ducklings
Problem statement: three bid ducks went out one day with two duckling behind. Fourteen kilograms was their weight when all five were combined. Add one duck and increase. Nineteen kilograms was the total of the seven with webbed feet. If all duckling have one weight, and duck all have another, then you should find the total weight.
Process: the process for this POW was that I know over all the duck Were fourteen kilogramos and so then I reread the problem and I had gotten more info that one big duck was only fourteen kilogramos and so then I did fractions and after that I had gotten nine kilograms for the little duck.
Solution: for my solution I has Tottenham nine kilogramos for each baby duck.
Evaluation: I think this problem was really good for me because I dont use fracciones alot and this problem helped me to see if I still remember how to do fraction.

Pow #9
POW #10
Process: what i did for this part was to get the 12 bags of gold and so then I put 6 bags on the top and 6 bags on the button of them. That was how i got started. On one of pants I got stuck was finding out which of the bags was the one that weighed The Royal Treasury has grown and 12 bags is needed to evenly distribute and organize all of the Crown’s funds. The King has entrusted 12 local Lords to guard each bag of his gold. Eventually word reaches the King that one of the bags has been tampered with, and the real gold replaced with counterfeit coins. It’s up to the Master of Coin once again to find the fastest and most economical way to determine which bag holds the counterfeit gold. It is unknown which bag holds the gold, and if the counterfeit coinsdifferent from the rest of them. The drawings that l did was drawing 6 bags on top and 6 bags on the button. Then l weighed 2 on 2 then 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 groups. But doing that l had seen that l did in 3 lane.
Solution: For my solution l say yes you can solve this problem within 3 lanes or moves. Let me tell you how I got 3 as an answer you can brake it down 12 into 6 by 6 I'd didn't count that as a move. Then I brake 12 in 3 ways one of those were sixs groups of twos then four groups of threes and three groups of fours something like that I just can't explain it here.
Evolution: For this problem yea at first it was very hard but I reread it a few time and I still didn't get it but what I'd understood I think I did good. I would give this problem a 4 out of 5
