Maths Challenge Term 3, Week 1

The Boxes
There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". They are all labeled incorrectly. You may pick one fruit from one box only to solve the problem. 
Which box will you pick a fruit out of and how will you relabel the boxes correctly?
Please leave your solution with your name. Remember to read the information carefully and check that your solution matches the question.

  1. I would choose the box that has Apples and orange box because then I can see whether it has apples or oranges in it.

  3. I would pick the Apples and Oranges because by taking fruit from a muti fruit box, I can relabel the boxes correctly. The apples and oranges box is oranges, oranges apples and apples, apples and oranges.

  4. you will pick a fruit out of the oranges box and put it in the oranges and apples because maybe the oranges and apples box has the same amount of oranges and apples in it and when you look inside it you will count and know that there are more oranges than apples. george.b
