Dad hit himself for ten -year -old’s math tasks: “Something must be missed”

A confused father has been affected by his ten-year-old math duties, so he has addressed the Internet to help him.

The US father went to Reddit after bewildered by a multiple choice question given to his elementary child.

Although there are four different “answers” to choose from, the affected father said that “something” of the equation must be missed, as none of the options seemed to be correct.

“This particular question was my son’s math tasks from the other day,” he wrote.

“Today they have reviewed the answers in class and apparently the answer was A.”

The question that has it, and all the others, who scratch their heads, was as follows: Kayla has 18 bottles of bubbles. He wants to give two bottles to each of his six friends. How many bottles will you have left?

The children then had the option of four expressions and were challenged to identify what “solves the problem.”

It read: a) (18 Divide 2) Divide 6, b) (18 Divide 2) + 6, c) (18 x 2) – 6, od) (18 x 2) + 6.

But, like the father, who said it was “curious how they came to this answer,” he said, “none of the options seemed good, as he hoped to be 18 years (6 × 2).”

Some people rushed in the comments section to try to find out the answer, but most agreed that there was a problem with the options offered.

“I think a misconception or misconception is more likely. If they changed the subtraction and multiplication sign and they moved the parentheses to the choice of response C, then: (18 x 2) – 6 could turn into 18 – (2 x 6),” said one.

“You’re right, the teacher is wrong. If you simplify a, get 1.5, which makes no sense in the context of the problem,” another said.

Although one simply said, “It seems to me to be mistaken too.”

Some tried to work, but they fought.

“Really twisting my brain here to make sense of the correct being, but here it goes: if you divide 18 bottles by 2, get 9 bottles in two separate batteries. Now give a bottle of each pile to all 6 friends. The result would be 3 bottles in two separate batteries or 6 surplus bottles in total. Gymnastics,” said one.

“A, if they are supposed to use Euclidean divisions (18/2 = it has 9 lots of 2, 9/6 => 1 and the rest is 3)”, he tried to another.

While one described it as “bad logic”, but anyway gave him a stab.

“This is the only way to be able to get any of the answer options (and is a); I don’t say it is correct, I just wanted to explain their logic (wrong):

“He is dividing the 18 bottles into 2, which are 18/2. Then he is dividing these 2 sets of 2 among his 6 friends.

“That is why it is divided by 6 then. This leaves you A., but as everyone said, you and your child are correct. The work sheet is wrong.”

Finally, the child decided to expose the problem with the question, writing: “None, 18 – (6 x 2)”.

The father later updated everyone again, saying, “The worksheet is really wrong.”

“I talked to the teacher and they happened in class together. The teacher mentioned that none of the answers was correct and what came out of my son was correct,” he shared.
