364 bowls, depending on the week.
Three people eat a bowl of rice and four people eat a bowl of soup.
Excuse me, sir, how many monks are there in the temple?
There are 364 bowls in the temple. Three monks eat a bowl of rice, four monks eat a bowl of soup, and everyone has food. How many monks are there in the temple?
"It's not bad every week" means it's very accurate, and that's it in the later calculation, not bad at all.
Obviously, this algebra problem can be solved by junior high school students with a little brain-let the number of monks be x and list the following algebraic expressions: x/3+x/4=364, x=624.
2. Hundred sheep problem
Cheng Dawei, a great mathematician in Ming Dynasty, wrote a book "Arithmetic Unity", in which there is a mathematical application problem in the form of poetry, called the Hundred Sheep Problem.
A drives the sheep to chase the grass, and B pulls A's sheep behind.
Do you want to ask A and 100? Jia Yun said there was no difference,
Combine the obtained groups, and then join the small semi-group of semigroup.
You must come alone. Who can guess the mystery?
A shepherd is driving a flock of sheep to find a place with lush grass. A man with a sheep came from behind and asked the shepherd, "Do you have 100 sheep?" The shepherd said, "If I have another flock of such sheep, plus half of this flock and 65,438+0/4 flock of sheep, plus your sheep, it will be exactly 65,438+000." Who can find out how many sheep are in this flock by clever methods?
The solution to this problem is:
( 100- 1) ÷ ( 1+ 1+ 1/4) = 36.
3. Li Bai drinks
Li Bai is walking in the street, playing with wine with a pot;
When you meet a store, double it, see flowers and drink a bucket;
I met the shop flower three times and drank all the wine in the pot.
How much wine is there in the hip flask?
This is a folk math problem. The meaning of the question is: Li Bai is walking in the street, drinking with a hip flask. Every time he meets a hotel, the capacity in the hip flask doubles, and every time he meets flowers, he drinks a barrel (barrel is an ancient unit of capacity, 1 barrel = 10 liter). In this way, he met the flowers three times in the shop and finished the wine. How much wine is there in the hip flask?
This problem is solved by an equation. Suppose there are x barrels of wine in the pot. If [(2x-1) × 2-1]× 2-1= 0, the solution is x = 7/8.
4. One hundred monks
Cheng Dawei, a great mathematician in the Ming Dynasty, wrote "Arithmetic Unity" with such a problem:
One hundred buns and one hundred monks, but three big monks did not increase;
One of the three young monks, and how many big and small monks?
This problem can be solved by hypothesis. Now suppose there are 100 big monks.
(3× 100- 100)÷(3- 1÷3)
= 75 people .......................................................................................................................................................................
100-75 = 25 (person) Number of big monks
5. Dumb people buy meat
This is also a calculation problem in Cheng Dawei's Arithmetic Unity:
Dumb people come to buy meat, the amount of money is hard to say, 40 yuan less per catty,
92 is more than 16. How much meat did you eat today?
