Question 41878: Factoring out Monomials
Mr. Jones says that he has 3 daughters, the product of whose s is 72. Furthermore, the sum of their ages is equal to his house number. A mathematician claims that even though he knows the house number, not enough information has been given to determine their ages. Thereupon, Mr. Jones adds that his youngest daughter likes raspberry yogurt. Smilingly, the mathematician announces the ages of the girls. What are the ages of the daughters?
Thank you -this really confuses me
========my thoughts========
so why does it matter that she likes raspberry yogurt??
would it make a difference if she liked chocolate pie?? I don’t understand?
and is this even what helps him figure their ages? maybe he knew the answer before Mr. Jones told him about her liking raspberry yogurt? or maybe it matters that she’s the youngest? a house number can have a variety of different numbers so how does that help? I don’t even know where to begin. maybe its a trick question. maybe MR. Jones told him the age before??
