Problem of the Week

By Trudy Gau

Congratulations to last week's winners: Molly T (3B) and Ishani V (3A)

 

Mild:

I’ve chosen 3 of these numbers. See if you can find them. 

My numbers add up to 7. 

One of my numbers is 4. 

Which 3 numbers did I choose?

                                               

 

Medium:

Six dollars were exchanged for 5c coins and 10c coins. The number of 5c coins was the same as the number of 10c coins. How many 5c coins were there in the change?

 

 

Spicy:

Your team has won the championship! You are excited but exhausted. There are slices of orange to share! 

If the slices are shared equally between the players, everyone gets 4 slices. 

However, if they are shared equally between the players, the coach and the team manager, everyone gets 3 slices. 

How many players are on the team?
