Question

Can someone check this for me please :)

Answer 1

There are four birds, mom and dad, son and daughter.

Each bird prefers there own bowl (red, yellow, green, or blue),

and there own seed (wild bird, free bird, new bird, and morning bird)

Dad will only eat morning bird seed in a yellow bowl

Mom must eat from a yellow bowl

Son's seed package is the same color as his bowl

Mom eats wild bird seed

Morning bird and new bird seed are packaged in a brown bag

Daughters bowl is green only if she eats morning bird seed

Free bird seed is in a red package

Match each bird with his/her seed and color of bowl..

this is what I got...
mom -- wild bird -- yellow bowl
dad -- new bird -- blue bowl
daughter -- morning bird -- green bowl
son -- free bird -- blue bowl

Answer 2

@eliassaab ...can you take a look at this please

Answer 3

this was my sisters homework, and we did it together. She turned it in, but the teacher said it was wrong. I do not see how it is wrong.

Answer 4

The teacher gave it back to my sister and told her to try again

Answer 5

here is my reasoning...
*Mom -- wild bird -- yellow (this is given)
*Dad will only eat morning bird seed in a yellow bowl -- dad does not have yellow bowl, therefore, does not eat morning bird seed.
*son's seed package is same color as bowl -- since morning bird and new bird are in brown packages, and their is no brown bowl, only one left is red package of free bird, so son eats free bird in red bowl.
* what we have left is daughter and dad...new bird and morning bird...blue bowl and green bowl.
* dad does not eat morning bird, so daughter gets morning bird, and if she gets morning bird, she gets green bowl.
* leaving blue bowl and new bird for dad

Answer 11

I just can't find what is wrong with the answer

Answer 12

That's exactly what i just got. hmmmm

Answer 13

it is not that hard....but I must be missing something...or the teacher is wrong

Answer 14

well, there must be more than one interpretation. and the teachers interpretation is a "trick" question, or so to speak.

Answer 15

I guess...I am just gonna tell her to show the teacher the reasoning....she just turned in the answer

Answer 16

As long as the reasoning is legit the teacher, if a math teacher, should respect that. Just because something needs proved, doesn't mean there is only one set of steps to get there. We could be wrong entirely, but i don't think so.
