Selam Negga,
Thanks for the puzzle from your mom. It is a good exmple of what I do in
a program called Family Math/Science. Since we try to make the program
multicultural and we say parents are educators, with your permission I
would like to use the puzzle. We may have to give the traders and the
camels names to make it easier for little children.
My answer is: Trader #1 gets camels 1, 5 & 9= 15qs.
" #2 " " 3, 4 & 8= 15qs.
" #3 " " 2, 6 & 7= 15qs.
I came up with my answer in long and involved way using pencil and
paper and other manipulatives. Please send the algeberic process to
solve the probelm.
Thanks I really enjoyed the puzzle. It meant a lot to me that yopu shared
this puzzle in honor of your mom.
Selam & ridette to all of us.
Salome Gebre-Egziabher
