Egyptian Mathematics - Part - 3

Hey Gurleen here ! How are you guys doing?

Today in Advanced Topics in math we learned how to do Egyptian Word Problems. Believe me people they are kind of hard. But after examples and explanations you will be able to understand them. Here are a few examples:

If | bucket of food feeds || camels for ||| days. How many buckets are need for |||||||||||| camels for | day?

(| means 1. so if there is ||| it is 3)

The answer to this question is 2

We also had some challenges that we had to do in class. The first 1 was easy but the second one was not. Here is one of the examples.

BIRDS AND RABBITS

There are Rabbits and Birds in 1 cage. There are 16 heads and 38 feet. How many Birds are in the cage?

Can you figure it out?

I had an awesome time in class today!!
