Daddy stuck by the tasks of the 10-year-old boy’s math house

A confused father has remained stuck in the duties of his 10-year-old son’s math house, so he returned to the Internet for help.

The American father took over to Reddit after being hesitant by a multiple -choice question given to his elementary child.

While there are four different “answers” to choose, the concerned father noted that “should miss something” from the equation, as none of the options seemed to be correct.

“This particular question was in the tasks of my son’s math house from the next day,” he wrote.

“They reviewed the answers in the class today, and apparently the answer was A.”

The question that has it, and everyone else, scratching the head was this: Kayla has 18 bottles of bubbles. She wants to give two bottles to each of her six friends. How many bottles will she have left?

The children then had the possibility of four expressions and were challenged to identify what “solves the problem”.

Read: a) (18 Divide 2) Separation 6, b) (18 Divide 2) + 6, C) (18 x 2) – 6, or D) (18 x 2) + 6.

But while the father, who said he was “curious about how they came to this answer” – said, “none of the options seemed just as I expected it to be 18 – (6 × 2).”

Some people rushed into the comments to try and process the answer, but most agreed that there was a problem with the options given.

“I think it is more likely a typo or wrong. If they exchanged the sign of subtraction and multiplication and move the brackets in the choice of response c, then: (18 x 2) – 6 can be made 18 – (2 x 6),” said one.

“You are correct. The teacher is wrong. If you simplify A, you get 1.5, which makes no sense in the context of the problem,” got another.

While someone simply said, “It seems that it’s wrong for me too.”

Some tried to make him work, but fought.

“Really distorting my brain here to understand an accurate being, but here goes: if you divide 18 bottles with 2, you get 9 bottles into two special piles. Now, give a bottle of each cluster for all 6 friends. The result would remain 3 bottles left in two special clusters, or 6 bottles left.

“A, if it is supposed to use Euclidian divisions (18/2 = it has 9 bundles 2, 9/6 => 1 and the rest is 3),” proved another.

While someone described it as “bad logic”, but gave it a knife anyway.

“This is the only way I can get any of the responses choices (and is A) – I am not saying that it is correct, I just wanted to explain their (wrong) logic:

“She is dividing the 18 bottles into groups 2; this is 18/2. Then she is sharing those groups of 2 among her 6 friends.

“That’s why you share with the other 6. That leaves you with A. But as everyone has said here, you and your son are correct. The worksheet is wrong.”

Eventually, the child decided to expose the question to the question, writing: “None, 18 – (6 x 2)”.

The father later returned to update everyone, saying, “the worksheet is really wrong.”

“I talked to the teacher and they spent it in the classroom together. The teacher mentioned that none of the answers were right and what came up with my son was correct,” he shared.
