maths question

[ToadMum]

B+B+B=30 so B=10
B+D+D=20 so D=5
D+FFFF=9 so F=1

D+FxB=?

So BIDMAS would have you do the FxB first, yes? So that would be 1x10=10.
Then you add D - so 10+D=15.

If you're doing it left to right you'd do 5+1=6, then 6x10=60.

Either way, not 70.

I will never understand maths.

But you understood that I was describing 'Two packs of fries' and 'One pack of fries' in different places - big hint there .

I stressed that the 'Two packs of fries' picture showed two packs very close together.

So close, that he you are not paying attention, one might mistake the shape for just the one pack.

So, when presented with the 'One pack of fries' in the actual question, one assumes that one is seeing the same here as one thought one saw in the statement above.

Does that help?

Lol! It's handy for reading multi-digit numbers but that's about it.
