problem solving


At maths time we did a group problem solving problem about dogs. We had to work out the ages of the dogs. The problem read:
I have three dogs of different ages. If I plus them together I will get 15 and of I multiply I will get 45
How old are my dogs?
We had to write down three different numbers to get 15 and then multiply them and try and get 45.
I found that challenging. But sadly we did not get the answer in time. It was a different type of problem that I have not done before but I liked it anyway.
