Question 2 The three members of a rabbit family have altogether eaten some number of carrots for breakfast.  Father woke up first and ate half of the carrots.  Mother woke up next and ate seven of the remaining carrots.  Son Bunny woke up last and ate the remaining four carrots. How many carrots had the family eaten? First off, here is a chart of the carrot eating that was going on: An example problem There were several birds on two trees.  First, five birds flew from the first tree to the second tree.  Second, one bird flew away from the second tree.  Third, four birds from the second tree flew to the first one.  In the end, there were six birds on each tree. How many birds were on each tree at first? The forward process The first step in solving "backward" problems is converting the question which is usually given in words into a diagram of symbols that will help you easily see what steps you should take to get to the solution. Here is the arrow diagram of what was taking place in this problem: We see that, after the first step, the number of birds on the first tree decreased by 5, while the number of birds on the second tree increased by 5. After the second step, the number of birds on the second tree decreased by 1. On the third step, the number of birds on the second tree decreased by 4, while the number of birds on the first tree increased by 4 birds from the second tree that moved there (this step is illustrated on the diagram by the slanted arrow. At the end, there are 6 birds on each tree. Progressing backward So we had drawn a symbol's chart and placed the problem operationsin it to produce this diagram: We now have to find the inverse operations for these operations and we will put them in a diagram too. So for example where we have a "+4" arrow going into the top-right tree, we will find the inverse (or opposite) which becomes a "-4" arrow going away from the top-right tree. Applying similar ideas, we then get the following diagram below: Everything together Now, let us reverse the steps, one at a time, by doing the opposite (following the thick arrows): If we take the top tree for example, starting at "6" at the top-right corner, we follow the backward arrows and perform: 6 - 4 = 2, 2 + 5 =7. For the bottom tree, again starting from the bottom-right tree and following the backward arrows, we will get: 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 1 = 11, 11 - 5 = 6. Thus there were 7 birds on the first tree and 6 birds on the second tree at the start!!! http://www.topbananaeducation.org/blog
