Explain (the steps) how you received the answer that you did.
i got the answer eleven because when you count you count like this 1,3,5,7,9,11 you get eleven because if you went over then you would go to twelve and you don't count even numbers only odd if you count every other number.
ReplyDeletei followed the numbers like this 1,3,5,7,9,11.And my final answer was eleven since we had to go to each number
ReplyDeleteRemember: He keeps walking until ALL the cheese is gone! At that time what is the number under the twelfth piece of cheese.
ReplyDelete13579
ReplyDeletethe answer is 3,5,7,9,11 i counted the odd numbers
ReplyDelete1
ReplyDelete1 i got that answer y thinking about it
ReplyDelete3,5,7,9,11 i got this anser by counting the odd numbers
ReplyDeleteHe ate 1,3,5,7,9,and 11.So the # under the last uneaten piece of cheese should be 12!
ReplyDelete1,3,5,7,9,11 if the mouse starts on number 1 and skips every other one the last piece of cheese will be on the number 12
ReplyDelete11
ReplyDeletehe will eat 1 3 5 7 9 11 and 12 will be the last uneaten piece
ReplyDeletemy answer is ten i got ten because i drew a clock and drew some and slashed every piece of goin clockwise
ReplyDeleteIf he starts at 1 and goes around eating every other piece then he'll go 1,3,5,7,9,11. Then he skips the 12th piece and goes on 2,4,6,8,10, leaving the 12th piece to be the last.
ReplyDeleteif the mouse starts with one he will eat every other piece of cheese. that means 1 3 5 7 9 11 the last non eating piece of cheese is 12
ReplyDeletethe number under will be 11
ReplyDeleteCole McCarty
ReplyDeletethe mouse walked around ate every other peice of cheese and ended on 2
I said that he ate 1 3 5 7 9 and 11 so the last uneaten cheese would be over 12
ReplyDeleteI followed the numbers like this:1 3 5 7 9 11.then:2 4 6 8 10.And my final answer is 10
ReplyDeleteIf the mouse ate the number one on the clock and skiped one he would eat 3 then 5 then 7 then 9then he ate 11 then he ate 2 then 4 then 6 then 8 then10 then 12. so that means that number twelve is last
ReplyDelete11 because it starts on the 1 and goes clockwise until every other piece of cheese is eaten around the clock
ReplyDeleteThe last piece of cheese that the ate would be number 12, because the 1st piece of cheese he ate was number 1 then it said he/her went clockwise.
ReplyDelete11 because it says every other piece and the last odd number is 11
ReplyDelete12
ReplyDelete12 because the mouse keeps missing every other piece of cheese.
ReplyDelete1,3,5,7,9,11.which means the number 12 would have the last piece of uneaten cheese above it.
ReplyDeleteI got the cheese question of 12 by slowly writing 1,3,5,7,9,11,1 making 12 be the last uneaten piece of cheese for the mouse.
ReplyDeleteEvery other peice of chesse is 1,3,5,7,9,11,and the other numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,12 and the last uneaten peice of chesse is 12.
ReplyDeleteThe last piece of cheese has the number 12 under it, because if he eats number 1 and goes clockwise eating every other piece he eats 1,3,5,7,9, and 11 so that leaves 2,4,6,8,10, and 12 under the last piece of cheese.
ReplyDeleteThe number of the last piece of cheese is 12 because the mouse stars at 1 and goes clockwise which is 1,3,5,7,9,and11 and 12 is the uneaten piece
ReplyDeleteThe number that is under the last piece of cheese that he eats is the number eleven.I got this answer by counting by odd numbers and I checked my answer by looking at the clock and skipping ever other number.
ReplyDeleteWhen the mouse goes clockwise it goes every other piece.like,1,3,5,7,9
ReplyDeletehe would eat would be 1 3 5 7 9 11 2 4 6 8 10 and he ends at 12 because he ate ever other peice and went back around ending at 12
ReplyDeletethe last number he has eaten is 12.i have figered that out by drawling the problem out as a picture. I counted all the way around the clock till i found out that the last number is 12
ReplyDeletei counted the number of uneaten cheese until i got to twelve.
ReplyDeleteThe last piece of cheese would be on 12.It would be 1 3 5 7 9 11 2 4 6 8 10 12.
ReplyDeleteI Dymon Humphrey got the answer by drawing a clock. Then i drew circles over the numbers on the clock.Next i crossed off every other piece of cheese. And then got 12
ReplyDeleteA clock goes from the number 1 to the number 12, as you already know, and if the mouse ate every other piece of cheese starting at 1 he would be eating all of the odd numbers.One would be first, then three,five,seven,nine then under his last piece of cheese would be the number 11 because after 9 comes 10 but we would skip that number making the last number 11. that's how i got my answer.
ReplyDeleteI wanted 2 post a hint to everybody from my follow up post and some words of wisdom. If u do well in class u can get through anything. The hint to the question is that u start from 1 and he EATS it and then he skips 1 so 3 and so on.
ReplyDeleteThe mouse ate all the finish of the eleven pieces of cheese ,so there is nothing at twelfth.
ReplyDeletehe will eat 1 3 5 7 9 11 2 4 6 8 10 12 because he walked in acompleat circleeventually eating all the cheese
ReplyDeletethe answer is twelve i am thinking that because if he eats the cheese clockwise he will eat #1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10,#11,#12.Under the 12th piece of cheese will be the number 12
ReplyDeleteSorry the answer is 12
ReplyDeleteBecause it 1,3,5,7,9,11and afther that is 12
The answer would be 8.
ReplyDeleteIn the mouse's first trip around the clock, it eats the cheese on all the odd numbers. When it has eaten the cheese on number 11, the following numbers still have cheese: 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
Remember, it must eat every other piece encountered. Therefore, after 11, it will eat 2, 6, and 10. The mouse is now on 10, and cheese remains on 12, 4, and 8.
It will then eat the cheese on 4, leaving 8 and 12. It will skip 8 and eat 12's cheese, leaving 8 as the last number containing cheese.
