Last Problem:
What number is 4 times 1/10 the number that is 1/10 less than 3/13?
Answer:
17/325. 1/10 less than 3/13 = 3/13 – 1/10 = 30/130 – 13/130 = 17/130. 1/10 of that number is 1/10 X 17/ 130 = 17/1300. 4 times that number = 4 X 17/1300 = 68/1300 = 34/650 = 17/325
Today’s Problem:
Six kids named Carla, Sara, Patty, Jeff, David and Doug – were on a scavenger hunt together as a team. Their last names are Thomas, Loomis, Howard, Patrick, Davis, and Rogers – but not in the same order as the first names. They had to find 6 items, so they split up – each to look for one item. They needed a gold plated button, a travel brochure of Hawaii, a clear marble, a parakeet feather, a peach pit, and a fluorescent light bulb. These items were located at various apartments: 3307-G, 3201-C, 3311-A, 3307-B, 3201-F, and 3201-H. Figure out who found which item and where. Your clues follow:
Carla, Howard, and the boy who was looking for the light bulb all found their items in the same apartment building.
Patrick found her marble in building 3307.
Sara and Davis found the pit and the marble in building 3307.
Doug, the girl who was looking for the pit, the boy who hunted for the brochure, the girl who found her item in 3307-B, the boy who found the feather, and the girl who found the button describes the team.
Thomas, Howard, and Rogers are the boys who found the feather, the brochure, and the light bulb at apartments A, F, and H.
Loomis found her button in the same building where Howard found his item at apartment F, and where Doug found his item.
Doug is not Thomas or Davis.
Sara’s search was not for the pit.
Jeff didn’t look for the brochure, and didn’t visit apartment F.
Thomas did not look for the brochure.
Who found what item, what is his or her full name, and where was it found?
