PROBLEM 1 - AGE PROLEM
• John’s father is 5 times older than John and John is twice as old as his sister Alice. In two years time, the sum of their ages will be 58. How old is John now?

PROBLEM 2 - DIGIT PROBLEM
• The ten’s digit of a number is three times the one’s digit. The sum of the digits in the number is 8. What is the number?
![Page 8: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PROBLEM 2 - REPRESENTATION
• Let x = one’s digit3x = ten’s digit
![Page 9: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PROBLEM 2 - WORKING EQUATION
• The sum of the digits in the number is 8.
x + 3x = 8
![Page 10: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PROBLEM 2 - SOLUTION
x + 3x = 84x = 8x = 2
• The one’s digit is 2. The ten’s digit is 3 × 2 = 6

PROBLEM 2 - CONCLUSION
• The number is 62.

PROBLEM 3 - DISTANCE PROBLEM
• A bus and a car leave the same place and traveled in opposite directions. If the bus is traveling at 50 mph and the car is traveling at 55 mph, in how many hours will they be 210 miles apart?
![Page 13: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PROBLEM 3 - REPRESENTATION
• Let t = time when they are 210 miles apart. • Fill in the values for d using the formula d = rt
![Page 14: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PROBLEM 3 - WORKING EQUATION
• Since the total distance is 210, we get the equation:
50t + 55t = 210
![Page 15: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PROBLEM 3 - SOLUTION
50t + 55t = 210105t = 210
t = 210/105 = 2
![Page 16: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PROBLEM 3 - CONCLUSION
• They will be 210 miles apart in 2 hours.

PROBLEM 4 - INTEGER PROBLEM
• The sum of the least and greatest of 3 consecutive integers is 60. What are the values of the 3 integers?
![Page 18: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PROBLEM 4 - REPRESENTATION
• Let x = least integerx + 1 = middle integerx + 2 = greatest integer
![Page 19: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PROBLEM 4 - WORKING EQUATION
• The sum of the least and greatest is 60.
x + (x + 2) = 60
![Page 20: Dindin Math Project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052412/55887234d8b42ab26e8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PROBLEM 4 - SOLUTION
x + (x + 2) = 60 2x + 2 = 60
2x =58x = 58/2 = 29
• The least integer is 29. The middle integer (x+1) is 30. The greatest integer (x+2) is 31.

PROBLEM 4 - CONCLUSION
• The 3 consecutive numbers are 29, 30 and 31.
