See What I Saw In A Primary 4 Textbook

Quantitative reasoning for primary school should not be an IQ test question for an undergraduate.

A primary 4 lantern quantitative reasoning question was brought to me and being that I was an undergraduate, I was like... 'Izit noh just a primary 4 work? Bring it jare and lemme dissect it'. Little did I know it was tough! Oboi! Was it tough. Hell yeah! So tough to the extent that myself and two other undergraduates weren't able to solve it.

It shattered my pride (or what was left it) so much so that I had to lie to those who gave me, telling them that I've not looked so much into it. So my nairaland brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, teachers and students. Should this type of question be given to a primary 4 student? If you can solve it, please do.

Have left schooling for a time now to get my brains to auto-switch from office routine to mathematical tricks in full readiness now.

Very simple

139*3=417
417/3=139

258*2=516
516/2=258

I swear! How did your mind even go there?

If you still haven't gotten it, you're to read the top as a whole number (not three separate numbers) and read the bottom as a whole number. The top × the middle number is the bottom

139 × 3 = 417
258 × 2 = 516

Cc nne5

1. And is 113*5 equals 565. So the answer is 6

2. And is 996/3 equals 332. So the answer is 3

3. And is 748/187 equals 4. So the answer is 4

4. And is 224*4 equals 896. So the answer is 6

5. And is 856/428 equals 2. So the answer is 2
