Answer to Math Quiz (3)

Hi all,
Here is the answer. Congratulations again to those of you who manage to get the answer right.

What is the answer in the blank?




Ans: RI
Explanation: Look at the first row of letters - RA, SC and TE. The 2nd letter of each pair of letters are A, C and E. The pattern is such that it skips by a letter. A to C skips letter B.
C to E skips letter D.
If you look at the 2nd row of letters - QC, RE and SG, the 2nd letter of each pair of letters are C, E and G. Again, it skips a letter to get to the next letter. C to E skips letter D.
E to G skips letter F.
This pattern applies to the last row of letters, PE, QG and ?. From E to G, it skips letter F. So, G to ? will skip letter H. As such,the 2nd letter should I.
If you look at the diagonal row of letters, RA, RE and ?, the first letter R is underlined. This is again a pattern and hence, the first letter of ? should be R.
That makes the answer RI.

Hi 3 Faith

The answer is finally here! Are you excited?

Question:
If there are FIVE people in a room and each shakes hand exactly once with everyone else in the room, how many handshakes will there be?


Okay, I have attached a picture here to help you understand it better. The coloured dots represent people. Each line between the dots represents a handshake. The numbers represent the number of handshakes. Remember the handshake is not supposed to be repeated.

Answer:
10 handshakes


It is best to act it out with 4 other people. It really helps in your understanding.

What is the missing number?

Wow, I am glad you get the right answer. The answer is 18.

How to get it:

Multiply numbers outside the + sign. That means, take 6 x 5. It gives you 30 which can be found between the numbers in the diagram. Try 8 multiplied by 3. It gives you 24. Hence, to get the answer, you need to multiply 6 and 3.

Conjunctions

Hi Girls,

How has your holiday been so far?

Do you still remember what we have learnt in class about conjunctions?
Take a minute to list down all the conjunctions we have learnt so far. (and, so, but ...)

Let us do a little revision before we proceed to the quiz.

Conjunctions join two short and simple sentences to make a compound sentence.

Try these games.

There are three parts to the game:

- Is this a compound sentence?

- Make compound sentences

- Putting texts into compound sentences
