Hi Hannah,this is a simplified version of what was stated in the train problem from before and if you know how to do this,the other one should be ok.

Start from the end condition with the three boxes and label the amount of sand they have at the end. Then,work out what fraction of sand is still in box A (because the very last action was sand is poured from A to C),to find how much to remove from C and put back to A. You would then have the numbers for A and C before sand was poured from A to C. Follow this logic and work backwards.

If you still do not get it,pls consult me and book a session with me,and Ill explain to you in 5 minutes,but try to work it out yourself first :)
Hi Hannah,this is a very classic working backwards problem and all you have to do is to work this out step by step. I would suggest drawing a table or a station line,something visual,and you subtract and add backwards accordingly. If you have any questions,you could consult me and Ill explain this for you in 5 minutes :)

Hi MEME, there are three parameters here. I suggest you write down a table with three columns: Number of virtual eggs,distance and amount time need to walk that distance. You can then see how each of it relates to each other

Hi slee,this should be a ratio/modelling question. I recommend you to draw three models. Before ratio,after ratio and the after ratio indicating the changes made. You would be able to see a clearer picture. If you are still confused,feel free to book a session with me and work this in 5 minutes. :)
