Below are some tips and suggestions for solving challenging mathematic problems.
A logical conclusion must be drawn from the given facts in order to solve mathematic questions that emphasize logical reasoning.
Example: A salad bar consists of fresh green lettuce, five different salad dressings, and thirty different salad toppings. How many different salads can be made if each salad consists of one helping of lettuce, one selection of salad dressing, and one topping?
Step 1: The first thing to consider is the one helping of lettuce.
Step 2. The second thing to consider are the five different salad dressings.
Step 3: The third thing to consider are the thirty different toppings.
Step 4: The total number of different salads is: 1 x 5 x 30 = 150
Note: If you have five different soups to go with your salad, it would be:
5 x 1 x 5 x 30 = 750
