Day before yesterday we had asked following questions:
1. A bat and a ball cost 1. 1.10. If the cost of a bat is one dollar more than a ball, what will be the cost of the ball?
2. If 5 machines take 5 minutes to create 5 widgets, how long will it take 100 machines to create 100 widgets?
3. In a lake the lotus leaves are spread out in one part, the share of these leaves doubles every day, if these leaves take 48 days to cover Popri Lake, then to cover half or 50% of the lake How much time will it take?
Below you can see their answer and don't forget to mention in the comments how many of them managed to give the correct answer.
1. If you answer the price of a ball with 10 cents, then you are not the only one who does it.
The correct answer is 5 cents, while the bill is 1. 1.05, ie more than one dollar.
2. As for the answer to the second question, most people answer it in a hundred minutes, but this is wrong because the real time is much less than that, that is, only 5 minutes.
The question states that if one machine produces one widget in 5 minutes, then 100 machines will need the same amount of time to produce 100 widgets.
3. Most people answer this question in 24 days, but this is not true.
Consider the question. It says that the leaves cover twice as much of the lake daily, which means the correct answer is 47 days, when the leaves spread over 50% of the lake and the 48th doubled. The lake was covered.
