Math in my Life
By: Ian Martin
Average
*Every year when I play soccer, I score on average 3 goals every season.
1+7+2+3+4+1/6=3
*Now it's your turn to figure this one out. What is the average of multiplication problems I solve in a minute if the numbers are 74, 37, 54, and 43?
Hint:74+37+54+43/4=answer
Division
*I have 162 Legos. Every day I use up 18 Legos to build something. How many days do I have in till I run out of Legos? 162/18=9
*I have $3,591. I have a phone that makes me pay $57 daily. How many day do I have to pay until I go bankrupt?
Hint:$3,591/$57=answer
Order of Operation
*What is 12x36/2/2/2+5-1? The answer is 58, because fist you do 12x36=432, then you do the division, because you always do division before you add or subtract. 432/2/2/2=54+5=59-1=58, which is your answer.
* What is 45x2/3+5x7=?
Hint: 45x2=90
Symmetry
These next problems you're on your own. How many ways is the picture right above of this symmetrical?
Hint: symmetry is when if you draw a line through something, it is the same on BOTH sides.
Fibonacci sequence
the first numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144. What are the next 3 numbers in the Fibonacci sequence?
Hint: Add the two numbers right before the next number. Then,the sum of those two numbers is the next number
Magic Squares
Can you use the numbers 1-16 to make a magic square?
Hint: A magic square is when ALL sides add up to the SAME number, vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
