Can someone tell me what has happened to the arithmatic?
In the "Beginner" you are asked to mentally find the square root of 115 and
in the "Intermediate" you are asked to find the square root of 303!!

Catron

Beginner - 45/3 = 15, 15+66 = 81, 81*2 = 162, 162 - 113 = 49 and it is 49 one is asked to take the square root of.

Intermediate - 3/7 of 91 = 39, 39 *4 = 156, 156/3 = 52, 52 + 144 = 196 and it is 196 one is asked to take the square root of.

Aquagility

Harrytabby asked where he was going wrong, Catron. He did not ask to have the sums done for him. Pots and kettles spring to mind.
Quite strongly, actually.

Catron

You really are something else, Aquagility. Pray how tell how I could tell harrytabby where they were going wrong in another way? This is not the full sum anyway! Utter fool you are!

BigDave44

I think you are reading the "divide by" signs as "plus"

eg 45+3=48+66=114*2=228-113=115

Thank you Catron and Aqugility. However, it saddens me that the response by Aquagility did not reflect the usual good nature of the contributors to this website.
As for Catron, who spelled out the details of the solution, may I thank you for your help especially as my 84-year-old eyesight is failing and I misread the "divide" sign for a "plus" sign. You highlighted this which I confirmed using a magnifying glass! Ta muchly.
