Maths Week Puzzle 1 - P4/5/6/7

17th Oct 2021

As part of Maths week, each night this week a special maths puzzle will be sent via the school website. As a family we encourage you to work out the answer and return it to school the next morning on a page or sheet of paper. All answers are to be placed in an special Maths Week Answer Box which will be located at the school's main entrance. Each day we will select a winning answer and present a prize.

Puzzle 1 - Monday 18th October 

Assume there are, five monkeys and each one takes 5 minutes to eat 5 bananas. How many minutes would 4 monkeys take to eat 4 bananas? Again, how many monkeys would eat 30 bananas in 30 minutes?

Good luck!
