Task Performance
I.

1. How many different rectangles with an area of one-hundred twenty

(120) square units can be formed using unit squares?

Understanding the problem:

120 square unit have 16 divisors so if I can use this formula a x b
differ from b x a I will conclude to 16 different rectangles
Devise a plan:
I’m planning to solve it in a similar manner but simpler solution
and listing all the known information
Carry out the plan:
To start it off, I will find any factors that worked on 120 (things you can
multiply that is equal to 120)

Review the solution :

1x120 4x30
2x60 5x24
3x40 6x20

2. Suppose thirty-six (36) students signed up for classes during an

orientation session. If exactly twenty-two (22) of them signed up for
Chemistry and exactly eighteen (18) of them signed up for English,
how many of them signed up for both Chemistry and English? How
many of them signed up for Chemistry only? How many of them
signed up for English only?

Understand the problem:

36 students signed up for classes during an orientation
session and exactly 22 of the students signed up for
chemistry and exactly 18 students signed up for english but
If I add that all students who signed for their classes it sums
up to 40 students meaning there are 4 unknown students
that signed up for their class
Devise a plan:
I’ll make a list of known information to identify what class did the four
students signed up prior to orientation session and to come up with
different possibilities

Carry out the plan:

In chemistry there are exactly 22 students signed up and for English
there are exactly 18 signed up so I can safely assume that 4 students
didn’t signed up during the orientation

Review the solution :

the possibilities are:
Chemistry: 22students - 4 students (signed up but earlier or later than
orientation session)
=18
English: 18
TOTAL: 36
or
Chemistry:22students
English+ 18-4 students (signed up but earlier or later than orientation session)
TOTAL: 36
or
Chemical 22-2students (signed up but earlier or later than orientation session)
= 20
English 18-2 students (signed up but earlier or later than orientation session)
= 16
TOTAL
That concludes that 4 students signed up for class earlier or later of
orientation session

3. An online mobile game tournament was facilitated and begins with

1024 players. Each game has four (4) players, and in each game, only
one (1) winner will advance to the next round. How many games must
be played to determine the winner?

Understand the problem:

1024 players and every game there will be 4 players and each
game will result only to a 1 winner, meaning that I just need to
divide the 1024 players into 4 (every game) until I determine the
player who’ll rise to the top
Devise a plan:
I’ll divide the overall gamers to 4 for each game and making a list
of players that won until the very last comes out
Carry out the
1024 / 4 = 256 (1st
256 / 4 = 64 (2nd
64 / 4 = 16 ( 3rd
16 / 4 = 4 (4th
4 / 4 = 1 (5th

Review the solution:

I just divided the 1024 players on each game until I determine how
many games does it need to finally found the sole winner
