Mathematical Dinner Dilemma. Joel Send a noteboard - 17/06/2011 07:32:15 PM
A story problem, if you will:

Lene has enough minced meat to make (J)Ole four tacos (she's having something else, but that's not important since she's merely a woman ;)). As she finishes dinner preparation, her brother arrives with three fish he recently caught and, learning of the tacos, asks the couple to share them, but there isn't enough beef for two people. How can this situation be resolved to the satisfaction of both the fisherman and the taco eater?

Please remember that correct answers will not receive credit unless you show your work. :)

Does he ask the couple to share his fish with him or does he ask the couple to share their tacos? - 18/06/2011 04:16:05 PM 338 Views
