Ozark Huckleberry Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Alpo said: It's less math, more observation. earbuds = 10 per pair person = 5 each watch = 4 per pair So -- last line: 1 earbud = 5 1 watch = 2 1 person = 5 BUT WAIT! The person in the final line is wearing a pair of earbuds AND a watch! Therefore, person with pair of earbuds and a watch = 17 Therefore, final equation is 5 + 17 X 2 Order of ops with no parentheses, brackets, or exponents is multiply and divide left to right, then add and subtract left to right So 5 + 34 39 Edited, because I noticed the person is also wearing a watch.

Line 2: 1 pair of pipes = 10. 20 – 10 = 2 people, so 1 person = 5. Line 3: 13 – 1 person = 8, so 2 pair of phones = 8, and 1 pair = 4, and 1 phone = 2. Line 4: Therefore, if 1 pipe = 5, 1 person = 5, and 1 phone = 2, then, 5 + 5 + 2 = 12. This was fun! Thank you, sir, may I have another? Close, but way off. the last line says 1 pipe (5) plus one person (5) TIMES 1 phone (2). And since you perform multiplication first according to PEMDAS, its 5+5x2 = 5+10=15 19 minutes ago, Ozark Huckleberry said: It's less math, more observation. earbuds = 10 per pair person = 5 each watch = 4 per pair So -- last line: 1 earbud = 5 1 watch = 2 1 person = 5 BUT WAIT!

The last symbol is a multiplication sign. The answer is 20. I rest my case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
