One sibling has been left scratching their head at their younger brother’s Year 5 maths exam.“Klein read 30 pages of a book on Monday and one eighth of the book on Tuesday,” the question read.
“He completed the remaining quarter of the book on Wednesday. How many pages are there in the book?”’One person commented: “And now we can all see whyThe 10-year-old’s math exam question is stumping adults.One passionate person said: “I always think to my self; ‘Ugh. People should really be tested with basic skills before they’re allowed to go out into society’.Not everyone agreed the question was difficult.“It looks just like any other math problem that I’ve done in 5th grade.
Someone with a PhD in engineering, with a focus on applied mathematics, said it wasn’t difficult to work out but it came with the assumption that Klein started the book on Monday. Once you have that, you divide 30 pages by five to see how much one eighth is worth, with the answer being six. Math lovers then just do the simple multiplication of eight times six, with the answer being 48, and the equation is solved.
