10 plus two unknowns.

apples = 10
bananas = 4
2 coconuts halves = 2

 

[broncosbybart]

Following that logic, Matt's answer would be right, as there are 3 bananas. I thought it was 4 at first, too.

Who knows what 3 bananas and half a coconut mean? Could be something entirely different.

 

[Ron]

ah you are right.

missed the banana count on my phone.

 

[broncosbybart]

Me too. I think this is a trap to see who spends the most amount of time on here

Bingo.
These are used by Facebook page trolls to ramp up their page count by having lots of people respond thinking they know the answer

Appears to be 14. BUT....I don't think that is exactly 1/2 a coconut. Maybe 15/32 of one.

Someone needs to explain the 16 to me.

 

[Chris_M]

Someone needs to explain the 16 to me.

If you ignore how many bananas coconuts etc and take any banana as 4 and any coconut as 2, it's 2+10+4

 

[sawdoff]

Then I have to disagree with that. Had that been the intent they would gave used the same images as before.


I did it before looking at the responses and got 14.

Common core!

I'm hungry

I think there's some rum missing in the last line. I'm sure that drink could work with the right proportions.

Made no sense to me, till I looked at some answers. I think the First statement, should been, "IF 3 apples = 30" ; I might have caught on earlier. And 14 is correct!

 

[f i s h]

10 + 10 +10 =30
10 + 4 + 4 = 18
4 - 2 = 2
2 + 10 + 4 = 16

Plug thus over your picture

 

[sawdoff]

Guess im getn old. A friend tried to explain how his kids were being taught. Sounded like the stupidest shit id heard. I looked at this as an algebraic equation
X +x+ x=30
x + 4y +4y = 18
4y-2z=2

then sub in knowns as theyre solved

Common core!

I have never been so pissed at common core as the other day with my 5th grader. She needed help dividing by fractions. PIECE OF CAKE!!!! I loved that stuff when I was her age. Multiply by the inverse of the fraction.... DONE!

Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They now have a whole mess of methods and pictures to draw and "strategies" to do the SIMPLEST of math. She was so confused and so was I. I told her just to do my method and if the teacher had a problem with it, call me. Teacher was cool with it (she's about my age and hates common core, too - but is forced to teach it)
