Non routine(probem and how to solve it)

iii) Gather information and select three non-routine problem and solve using two ore more types of problem solving. Select one strategy that is deemed to be most efficient and justify selection.

Question 1 :

In a non-leap year, which day is exactly in the middle of the year and what time is it?

i) TABLE

a) Understand the problem

§ What is given : Non-leap year

§ What is needed : The day is exactly in the middle and time of the

year.

b) Plan a strategy

§ Construct a problem-solving table

c) Devising

Total

365 days

1 year = 365 days

6 Month = 365 ÷ 2

= 182.5

§ Assume that 182.5 = 183

§ Total the days start from January until 183 days:-

31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30

= 181 days (June)

§ 181 days (June) + 2 days in July = 183 days. The day that exactly in the middle of the year is = 2nd July.

§ 1 days = 24 hours

§ 24 hours × 365 days = 8760 hours

§ 6 month =8760 ÷ 2

=4380 hours (Until 30th June)

· Total the hours start from January until 4380 hours:-

744 + 672 + 744 + 720 + 744 + 720 = 4344 hours

4380 hours – 4344 hours = 36hours

36 hours = 1 ½ day (in July)

36 hours -24 hours = 12 hours

24 hours = 1 July

12 hours = 2 July ( 12.00 p.m)

ii) DIRECT REASONING

a) Understand the problem

What is given : Non-leap year.

What is needed : The day is exactly in the middle of the year and the time.

b) Plan a strategy

· Use direct reasoning

c) Devising

· Non-leap year = 365 days

· So the middle of the year = 365/2

= 18.5

= 183 days

· January = 31 day

· February = 28 day

· March = 31 day

· April = 30 day

· May = 31 day

· June = 30 day

Total = 181 day

· To get 183 days, so we need to sum 181 days with 2 day in July. Now, day is exactly in the middle of the year is 2nd July.

· Now 1 day = 24 hour

· We need to times 24 hour with the y of every month

· January 31 × 24 = 744 hour

· February 28 × 24 = 672 hour

· March 31 × 24 = 744 hour

· April 30 × 24 = 720 hour

· May 31 × 24 = 744 hour

· June 30 × 24 = 720 hour

· So, we needed to sum January until June 744 + 672 + 744 + 720 + 744 + 720 = 4322 hour

· Here we get 4344 hour until 30 June. After this we need times 1 ½ with 24 hour

· 1 ½ × 24 = 36 hour

· 1 ½ day = 24 ½ hour

· The answer is 2nd July, 12.00 p.m
