Second-grade science discourse has the internet conflict over the respond – Journal Today Web

(WTAJ) — It’s not the prototypal instance internet users were at ratio with apiece another and it trusty won’t be the terminal this instance an questionable second-grade science discourse has the internet conflict over an answer.

A care posted what she said was her child’s second-grade science homework. Here’s how the discourse goes: “There are 49 dogs subscribed up to contend in a canid show. There are 36 more diminutive dogs than super dogs subscribed up to compete. How whatever diminutive dogs are subscribed up to compete?”

Comments came in dazzling from ultimate answers to others using more Byzantine algebra, which a second-grader would never understand. The algebra had grouping asking how lawful it is that this was the schoolwork of a 7-year-old.

While whatever chimed in that this is more of a datum involvement question, others said it’s impracticable to respond because “you can’t hit half of a dog.”

“… and what lineage of canid is 0.5 diminutive and 0.5 large?” digit mortal commented on a Facebook post.

The respond does actually untruth in a fraction.

The WTAJ digital aggroup took a fissure at it, with their possess Olivia Bosar observed the following:

“You prototypal cipher the 36 to assemble them as diminutive dogs since you requirement at diminutive 36 diminutive dogs. You then cypher the remaining 13 into digit categories: super dogs and diminutive dogs. But you hit to cypher them in a artefact that would provide you the knowledge to create a collection that’s X and a collection that’s X+36. It’s not doable in this leveling because 13 is a maturity number.”

As a maturity number, erst you essay to cypher 13, you modify up with a .5 in your answer, and, well, obviously, you can’t hit half of a dog.

What do you conceive the respond is? Could you support your female if they came bag with a schoolwork naming same this?
