Weekly Math Problem!


I would often post a weekly math problem for my students to solve for extra credit. Give your answer in the comment area below.




Math Problems Solving: A peasant wants to sell his stuff and get some salt and other supply back home. However, he has to cross a river with a small boat. How can you help him carry a sheep, wolf as well as cabbage across the river? You can only carry one item across at one time.
Math problem solving: Hint, Remember, sheep eat cabbage, wolf eat sheep.
