Answers to the eighth-grade mental math problems:
1. A man, having 10 2/7 acres of land, divided it equally among his 6 children: how much did each receive? 10 2/7 divided by 6 = 1 5/7
2. A man agreed to pay a laborer $2 for every day he worked; the laborer, for every day he was idle, was to forfeit $1; at the expiration of 20 days, he received $25: how many days was he idle? 20 days times $2 = $40; $40 - $25 = $15 missing; $15 divided by $3 (the amount he did not earn plus what was paid back for each day missed) = 5 days idle.
