Sixten turtles. 12+3=15+1=16
ReplyDeleteLOL!
! turtle is in line...LOL!
ReplyDeleteI also came up with sixteen...
ReplyDeleteA turtle walks in line, indicates to me that there is just one turtle.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't indicate that the 12 in front are in line. They could be scattered in different directions. Nor does it say that there are three turtles in line behind him.
So One is my answer.
non u said A turtle
ReplyDeleteHe = 1 turtle
ReplyDelete12 are in front of him = 13 turtles
3 behind him = 16 turtles
I would say the 2nd grade answer would be 16, but the analytical adult answer would be 1. The problem did not mention that the other 15 were also "in line", they could be scattered.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this teacher is going to like me. Already I have sent back a note to mark correct an answer that was marked incorrect on son's papers he brought home.
ok 16 turtles...I know there is some joke to this
ReplyDeleteno no no only 1 turtle.. (A TURTLE IS IN LINE) NONE OF THE OTHERS ARE IN LINE....HAHAHAHA, UM IM I RIGHT?
