Tricky Maths?

[naomi24]

These can’t be as simple as they seem … can they?

1. A Christmas pudding weighs 1kg and half a pudding. How heavy is the pudding?

2. Santa has 9 reindeer. How many reindeer legs altogether?

3. I bought 2 boxes of 12 crackers. On Christmas day we pulled 10. How many were left for Boxing Day?

Mmmm.

1.5 kg.

36 legs.

14.

Am I missing summat ?

[naomi24]

Hmmm.. I think you might be. Join the club! :o/

if it was how many legs altogether it's 38 ......santa 2 reindeers 36

The pudding must be 2kg if a half of it weighs 1kg.

Sparkly - I think you might want to try the first one again.

[THECORBYLOON]

For 3, there are twenty-four crackers still, some of which have been pulled.

3 iffy ..... 2 boxes with 6 in each leaves 2 for boxing day

[Ryzen]

3.....24 the pulled crackers are still crackers.
