Module 3
PROBLEM SOLVING AND REASONING

Problem 1: In a class experiment, Miguel rolls one ordinary 6-sided die repeatedly.
Keeping track of each number he rolls, he decides to stop as soon as one number is
rolled three times. Miguel stops after the 12th roll, and the sum of these rolls is 47.
Which number occurred for the third time? (An ordinary 6-sided die has the numbers
from 1 through 6 on its sides) (Timbang & Colonia)

1) Taking into consideration that Miguel rolled a number 3 times on the 12th roll,
this means that on his 11th roll, 5 numbers have rolled twice and 1 number
has rolled only once.

2) Let us name the number that has only rolled once as X. If X were rolled on
the 12th roll, then the sum of all the rolled numbers would be:

From this we can tell that the total after 11 rolls would be 42 - X.

3) If Y is the number rolled thrice, then 42 - X + Y = 47 and so Y - X = 5.


Considering that we can only take the numbers 1 to 6, the only numbers that
would equal to 5 when subtracted to each other are 6 and 1.

4) Y - X = 5, where X = 1 and Y = 6. Therefore, the number that was rolled


three times is 6.

Problem 2: How many squares of all sizes are there on a standard 8-square by
8-square checkerboard? (Marasigan & Lantano)

1) When we view an 8-square by 8-square chessboard, we may count how


many squares are covered by the chessboard and that is 64.
2) If we look closely at the 8-squares by 8-squares chessboard, we can see that
there are not only 64 squares. There are a total of 204 squares of various
sizes.
3) The number of first columns and rows is 8, which is equal to 64 when written
as 8X8. When we look at the first two rows and columns, we may count seven
squares, which is expressed as 7X7 = 49, and so on.

Solution:
first columns and rows - 8X8=64
second columns and rows - 7X7=49
third columns and rows - 6X6=36
fourth columns and rows - 5X5=25
fifth columns and rows - 4X4=16
sixth columns and rows - 3X3=9
seventh columns and rows - 2X2=4
eighth columns and rows - 1X1=1

● If we add all the products we will get a total of 204 squares.

Problem 3: How many toothpicks will be needed to make a 7 × 7 square? (Ariate,


Bacilies, Ortega)

1) First, consider that a 7x7 square is made with toothpicks.

2) It consists of

8 – Horizontal

8 – Vertical

3) So, for drawing the lines we need

4 Lines (the outside line)

6 Lines (horizontal)

6 Lines (vertical)

16 x 7 = 112 toothpicks

4) Hence, 112 toothpicks are needed to make a 7x7 square.

Checking:

4 + 6 + 6 = 16

16 x 7 = 112
