<h1 class="center">Pencils and Jars Solution</h1>
<p class="center">A <b>solution </b>to the <a href="pencilsandjars.html">Pencils and Jars Puzzle</a></p>
<p class="center"><img src="puzzles/images/pencils.html" alt="pencils" height="" width=""></p>
<h2>The Puzzles</h2>
<h3>Puzzle 1</h3>
<div class="indent50px">
<p>I have some pencils and some jars.<br>
If I put 4 pencils into each jar I will have one jar left over.<br>
If I put 3 pencils into each jar I will have one pencil left over.<br>
How many pencils and how many jars?</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Puzzle 2</h3>
<div class="indent50px">
<p>Again I have some pencils and some jars<br>
If I put 9 pencils into each jar I will have two jars left over<br>
If I put 6 pencils into each jar I will have three pencils left over<br>
How many pencils and how many jars?</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>A Solution</h2>
<p>Puzzle 1 can be solved simply by trying some
different numbers.</p>
<p>But if we want to solve Puzzle 2 it is a
bit more tricky.</p>
<p>So we will solve Puzzle 1 using <a href="algebra/index.html">Algebra</a>, to make it easier to tackle Puzzle 2.</p>
<h3>Puzzle 1</h3>
<p>The first stage is to read the question carefully:</p>
<p class="center80">I have some pencils and some jars.<br>
If I put 4 pencils into each jar I will have one jar left over<br>
If I put 3 pencils into each jar I will have one pencil left over<br>
How many pencils and how many jars?</p>
<p>There are two distinct statements.</p>
<div class="dotpoint">
<p>When there are four pencils in each jar there will be one jar
left over.</p>
<p>We can
say that <b>the number of jars is equal to the number
of pencils divided by four plus another one.</b></p>
<p>This can be expressed using algebra:</p>
<p class="center"><b class="large">j = (p/4) + 1</b></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="dotpoint">
<p>When there are 3 pencils in each jar there will be one pencil
left.</p>
<p>We now need to calculate how many pencils there are.</p>
<p>We can
say that <b>the number of pencils will be equal to the number
of jars times three plus another one.</b></p>
<p>Using algebra again we have:</p>
<p class="center"><b class="large">p = 3j + 1</b></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have ended up with two <a href="algebra/linear-equations.html">linear equations</a>.</p>
<p>There are two ways
to solve these: <a href="data/function-grapher.html">Graphically</a> or using <a href="algebra/systems-linear-equations.html">simultaneous equations</a>.
We will use graphs!</p>
<p>First rearrange the formula to make <b>j</b> the subject:</p>
<p class="center"><b class="large">j = (p/4) + 1</b> (equation
1)</p>
<p class="center"><b class="large">j = (p 1) ÷ 3</b> (equation 2)</p>
<table style="border: 0; margin:auto;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Plotting these on a graph using x=p and y=j;</td>
<td><img src="images/graph1.gif" alt="graph 1" height="136" width="200"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>If we find the <b>intersection point</b> we have our answer</td>
<td><img src="images/graph2.gif" alt="graph 2" height="136" width="200"></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p class="center large">And that is it: there are 16 pencils and 5 Jars.</p>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Puzzle 2</h3>
<p>Ahh! That is for YOU to work out, using the same method I have just shown you.</p>
