Question

fun friday

1. there are three apples in a basket. if you take out two, how many apples do you have?
2. what number do you get if you multiply all the numbers on a smartphone keypad?
3. what is the similarity between 2 + 2 = 5 and your left hand?

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the apple - quantity problem

There are 3 apples initially and 2 are taken out. The number of apples left is calculated by subtraction.
$3 - 2=1$

Step2: Analyze the smartphone - keypad numbers product

On a smartphone keypad, the numbers are 0 - 9. If we multiply all of them together, since 0 is among the numbers, and any number multiplied by 0 is 0, the product is 0.

Step3: Analyze the math - statement similarity

$2 + 2 = 4$, not 5. The similarity is that it is a wrong math statement like when you might make a mental calculation error. In both cases, there is an incorrect result presented.

Answer:

1. 1 apple
2. 0
3. Both are incorrect math - related statements.
