Question

A woman has 5 Potatoes and six kids. She must feed them all the same ammount of potatoes, How can she do it ? but you can not give me the answer in fractions or decimels.

Answer 1

She can cut each potato into 6 equal pieces, since each potato will be a different size. She should then give each child on piece. If she wants to eat, then she shoud cut them into 7 pieces. Each child ends up with 5/6 of a potato if she does it the first way.

Answer 2

You have to get a potato and cut it in 6 ways and then do the same for the rest of the potatoes.

Answer 3

The simplest way, but a lot of work, is to cut each potatoe into six equal pieces and give each kid 1 slice from each potatoe.

Answer 4

your choices are make mashed potatoes, kill one of the kids, plant one of the potatoes to grow more, go buy more potatoes, order a pizza, or forget your no fractions or decimals rule and give each kid 5/6 of a potatoe.
