Crazy Confusing Math

 Last week my math group and I made a DLO about our learning. In the question it said we had a restaurant and there were three tables, the biggest table had three times as much as the small one and the medium one had two times as much as the smallest one. Everyone struggled on that part so to make it easier the teacher said to concentrate on the middle part of the question the middle part said on tuesday night three quarters of the seats were taken and then twelve people arrived unfortunately there were only enough seats for half of them. It made it easier because it was easier to understand and we all knew the answer and how to solve it. We all knew that half of twelve is six and if three quarters were full then there were one quarter free, then half of twelve is six and so six is one quarter. So if there are 6 in each quarter and there are 4 quarters so six times four equals twenty-four. Next we were guessing random numbers to equal up to 24 we guessed a lot of numbers then we guessed 4. Next we went four times two which equal 8 then 4 times 3 which equals twelve then we added them altogether and it all equaled up to 24. I think it was really challenging because it was hard to understand. Have you ever done something like this?
