    4 Solving problems using strategies


    ▪ Make a drawing and using an equation
    ▪ By elimination method
    A triangle has a perimeter of 50 ft. If 2 of its sides are
    Gin asked Uncle Rod how old he
    equal and the third side is 5 ft. more than the equal
    was. But he gave her some clues:
    sides, what is the length of the third side?
    “I am between 21 to 42.
    I am divisible by 5. I am an odd
    number. I am divisible by 7.”
    How old is Uncle Rod?
    More techniques …

    There are 7 players in a badminton tournament. Each player plays every other player
    exactly once. How many games will be played in all?

    ▪ By making a table/chart ▪ By making a diagram and using


    a pattern
    A B C D E F G
    A X X X X X X

    B X X X X X

    C X X X X

    D X X X

    E X X

    F X

    The total number of games that will be played


    (represented by X ) is 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21.
    ACTIVITY

    Use the suggested strategy to solve following: ▪ Guess and check

    ▪ Make a list

    ▪ Pattern
    recognition
    HINTS on how to solve!

    1. Use the suggested strategy (making a list) to solve following:

    TAKE this as a hint:


    A B
    Type of triangle similar to … How many?
    A 5
    B 5
    A & B combined 10
    A, B, & A combined 5
    3B, A, & pentagon combined 5
    Continue listing, pls.
    if there are more

    TOTAL # of triangles ?
    2. Use the suggested strategy (pattern recognition) to solve following:
    3. The problem below is something that you have been solving for some time
    now. What’s your answer? Be sure to check your values.

    ▪ Guess and check


    More problems

    Using “Guess and Check”,


    solve the following by replacing
    each letter by an appropriate
    numeral:

    COCA
    + COL A .
    O A S I S
    QUIZ ITEMS (1-3)

    Pattern recognition
    Cryptarithm problem
    Logic puzzle (2)
    Cyclic (involves “I”)
    Graph Theory problem
    • 4. You have a drum of water, a 3–gallon container, a 5 – gallon
    container, and an EMPTY drum. DESCRIBE / narrate how to obtain
    exactly 7 gallons of water using the TWO containers.
    • 5. Jo checked a book out of the library. Library fines overdue books
    as follows: IF a book is 1 day overdue, the fine is P10, if 2 days
    overdue, P20, if 3 days overdue, P30, and so on. HOW MUCH
    would be the fine if Jo’s book is 7 days overdue? IF 60 days
    overdue?
    • 6. There are ducks and goats in a farmer’s barn. The farmer said
    that there is a total of 294 legs and a total of 85 heads. How many
    ducks and how many goats are in the barn?
    • 7. In how many ways can you answer a 3–question true–false
    test. If you answer each question with either a “true” or a “false” ?
    • 8. Marcus ran a lemonade stand for 5 days. On the first day, he
    made $5. Every day after that he made $2 more than the previous
    day. How much money did Marcus made in all after 5 days?
    LOGIC PUZZLES
    can be solved by deductive reasoning
    (a chart that enables us to display the given
    information in a visual manner helps the situation)

    Example:
    Each of four neighbors, Mark, Zen, Linda, and Roy, has a different
    occupation (teacher, banker, chef, or broker). Clues:

    1) Zen gets home from work after the banker but before
    the broker.
    2) Linda, who is the last to get home from work, is not the
    teacher.
    3) The broker and Linda leave for work at the same time.
    4) The banker lives next door to Roy.
    From the clues, determine the occupation of each neighbor.
    Coincidence or Not ???
    IF…
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    EQUALS …
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
    THEN …
    K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 96 %
    H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 98 %
    BOTH ARE IMPORTANT, BUT FALL SHORT OF 100 %
    BUT
    A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 100 %
