1.

A rancher decides to enclose a rectangular region by using an existing fence along

one side of the region and 2240 feet of new fence on the other three sides. The
rancher wants the length of the rectangular region to be five times as long as its
width. What will be the dimensions of the rectangular region?

A. Goal: Find out the dimensions of the rectangular region.

Given: Rancher decides to enclose a rectangular region by using an existing fence
along one side of the region; 2240 feet of new fence on the other three sides;
rancher wants the length of the rectangular region to be five times as long as
its width

B. Let width be w, and length be l

w = w ; l = 5w
A=wxl

C. 2240 = 5w (w)
2240 = 5w 2
2240=5 w 2
5
448 = w 2
√ 448 = w
21.166 ft = w

l = 5x
= 5(21.166)
= 105.83 ft

A=wxl
= 21.166 ft x 105.83 ft

D. 21.166 ft x 105.83 ft

2. If 15 people greet each other at a meeting by shaking hands with one another, how
many handshakes will take place?

A. Goal: Find out the number of handshakes.

Given: 15 people greet each other at a meeting by shaking hands with one another

B. Use a representation that shows the pattern

Where, 15 people = A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I; J; K; L; M; N; O

C. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O

D. 105 handshakes

3. Nonie, Louise, Eduard, and Mark are attending Southern Luzon State University
(SLSU). One student is a computer science major, one is chemistry major, one is a
business major, and one is biology major. From the following clues, determine which
major each student is pursuing.
a. Nonie and the computer science major are next door neighbors.
b. Louise and the chemistry major have attended SLSU for 2 years, Eduard has
attended SLSU for 3 years, and the biology major has attended SLSU for 4
years.
c. Mark has attended SLSU for fewer years than Nonie.
d. The business major has attended SLSU for 2 years.

A. Goal: Determine which major each student is pursuing.

Given: One student is a computer science major, one is chemistry major, one is a
business major, and one is biology major.

a. Nonie and the computer science major are next door neighbors.
b. Louise and the chemistry major have attended SLSU for 2 years, Eduard has
attended SLSU for 3 years, and the biology major has attended SLSU for 4 years.
c. Mark has attended SLSU for fewer years than Nonie.
d. The business major has attended SLSU for 2 years.

B. Use a representation that shows the following clues.

C. From fact B we can say that Louise and Eduard are not the biology major because they
Louise attended SLSU for 2 years, and Eduard for 3 years, while biology major attended
SLSU for 4 years.

From the first sentence in fact B and fact D, we see that Louise is the business major.

Mark attended for fewer years compared to Nonie (fact C), so he’s not the biology major
cause there's no way he could have attended for 4 years. This means he attended for 2
years and he's the chemistry major (fact B).

Nonie Eduard Louise Mark

Computer X X

Biology Major X X X
Business Major / X
 Chemistry X /

By fact A, we know that Nonie isn't the computer science major. He's also not the business
major or chemistry major (assuming each student only does one major and no majors are
repeated among the students). The only thing left is the biology major. And because Nonie is
the biology major, Eduard is the computer science major.

Nonie Eduard Louise Mark

D. Louise = Business Major

Mark = Chemistry Major

Nonie = Biology Major

Eduard = Computer Science Major
