If people do not believe that mathematics is simple,
it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
John Louis von Neumann

2. One day you were craving for pizza so you ordered a family-sized circular pizza from Shakeys. In 5 minutes, you
were able to eat a slice which measures (see diagram below). After 10 minutes, a total measure of had been
consumed. 15 minutes after you have started eating, a total measure of had been eaten. And this continued while
you were eating.
a. How many slices were you able to eat in 30 minutes? (3 points)









b. How long did it take you to finish the pizza? (3 points)
































It is hard to convince a high school student that he will encounter a lot of problems
more difficult than those of Algebra and Geometry.
