COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATION
Counting Cars and Trains
1. 8 trains: P, (LG)W, W(LG), RR, RWW,
WRW, WWR, WWWW
2. 16 trains: Y, PW, WP, (LG)R, R(LG),
(LG)WW, W(LG)W, WW(LG), RRW, RWR,
WRR, RWWW, WRWW, WWRW, WWWR,
WWWWW
3. The number of trains of lengths 3, 4, and 5 are
respectively 4, 8, and 16, revealing a doubling
pattern. Continuation of the pattern shows
there will be 32, 64, and 128 trains of
respective lengths 6, 7, and 8.
4. 2nโ1 of length n can be formed. It must be
shown that there are twice as many trains of
length n as there are of length n โ 1. There are
two ways to lengthen a train of length
n โ 1 by one unit: (1) add a white caboose,
giving us 2nโ 2 trains of length n, all of which
have white cabooses; and (2) lengthen the
caboose by one unit, giving us another 2nโ 2
trains of length n, all of which have nonwhite
cabooses. Altogether, the two methods give us
2n โ 2 + 2n โ 2 = 2(2n โ 2 ) = 2nโ1 different trains
of length n. This counts all of the trains of
length n, since any train of length n
corresponds to a unique train of length n โ 1
by either removing a white caboose or
shortening a nonwhite caboose by one unit.
Since the number of trains of length one is 20,
there are n โ 1 doublings to give us 2nโ1
trains of length n. Alternatively, think of
starting with a train of n white cars. Those
could be glued together in all possible ways to
form all possible trains of length n. To do this,
at each of the n โ 1 junctions between two
white cars one must make one of two
choicesโto glue or not to glue. Hence, there
are 2nโ1 possibilities in all, as above.
5. (i) 5 trains: WWWW, WWR, WRW, RWW,
RR
(ii) 8 trains: WWWWW, WWWR, WWRW,
WRWW, RWWW, WRR, RWR, RRW
(iii) The number of RW-trains of length eight
is F9 = 34 ; 10 of these trains have five
cars (WWRRR and its rearrangements).
(iv) The number of RW-trains of length 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, … is 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …, the Fibonacci
numbers beginning with F2. Recall that
F1 = F2 = 1 and Fn + 2 = Fn +1 + Fn . Note
that adding a white caboose to the trains
of length n + 1 and adding a red caboose
to trains of length n yields all of the RWtrains of length n + 2. Thus, the number
of trains of length n is Fn +1 .
6. (i) 2 trains: P, RR
(ii) 3 trains: Y, (LG)R, R(LG)
(iii) 13 trains: Br, (DG)R, R(DG), Y(LG),
(LG)Y, PP, PRR, RPR, RRP,
(LG)(LG)R, (LG)R(LG), R(LG)(LG),
RRRR. None of these trains contain five
cars.
(iv) The number of W-trains of length 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, … is 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, …, again the
Fibonacci numbers where we agree to set
F0 = 0. Note that adding cabooses of
length n โ 1, n โ 2, n โ 3, …, 2 to the
W-trains of length 2, 3, 4, .., n โ 1 gives
all the W-trains of length n + 1, except
for the one additional train that consists of
a single rod. This corresponds to the
formula 1 + F1 + F2 + + Fn โ 2 = Fn .
Thus the number of W-trains of length n
is Fn โ1 .

14. No. It is possible that there are elements of A
that are also elements of B but not C, or C but
not B. For example, let A = {1, 2}, B = {2, 3},
C = {3}. A โช B = A โช C = {1, 2, 3}, but
B โ C.
15. No, it is not necessarily true that F = G. For
example, if D is any subset of the whole

that A โฉ B = A โช B . Thus A โช B has no
additional elements besides those in
A โฉ B, and so neither A nor B has any
additional elements. Since A = A โฉ B
and B = A โฉ B , we conclude that A = B.
(Caution: This reasoning would not be
valid if infinite sets were allowed.)
(b) Answers will vary. For example,
Q1 โ Q2 , etc.
13. (a) True. A set B cannot have fewer elements
than its subset A.
(b) False. Possible counterexample:
A = {1}, B = {2, 3}. Then n(A) = 1 and
n(B) = 2, so n(A) < n(B), but A โ B .
(c) True. The union A โช B does not include
any more elements than just A, so the
elements of B must already be elements
of A.
(d) True. If an element of A was not also an
element of B, then this element would be
missing in A โฉ B but included in A.
14. (a) True.
16. (a) 1000 รท 6 = 166.666โฆ, so the largest

of 30. Since 1000 รท 30 = 33.33โฆ, the
largest element of F โฉ S is 33 ยท 30 =

(b) True.
(c) False. For example, if
B = { x | x is any positive integer except 3} ,
then B = {3} .
(d) False. This is true only if A and B are
disjoint.
15. (a) n( A โฉ B) โค n( A)
The set A โฉ B contains only the elements
of A that are also elements of B. That is,
A โฉ B โ A . Thus, A โฉ B cannot have
more elements than A.
(b) n( A) โค n( A โช B )
18. Use the fact that the eight regions pictured
below are mutually disjoint sets and apply the
strategy of working backwards, that is, start
with n( A โฉ B โฉ C ) = 7 . Next use n( A โฉ B) ,
n( B โฉ C ) , and n( A โฉ C ) to find the values
10, 5, and 8, respectively. Then use n(A), n(B),
and n(C) to find the values 15, 28, and 10,
respectively, and finally n(U) to find the value
17.
The set A โช B contains all of the
elements of the set A and any additional
elements of B that are not already
included. Then A โ A โช B . Therefore,
A โช B must have at least as many

30. (a) Six ways: yrg, rgy, gyr, ygr, gry, ryg
(b) Six. The numbers 1, 2, 3 can be viewed as
the bottom, middle, top positions for balls

to place the balls in the can are a distinct
one-to-one correspondence.
(c) There are 12 ways to place the first egg,
and 11 empty spaces in which to place the
second egg. Therefore, the first two eggs
can be put into the carton in 12 11
ways. This leaves 10 empty choices for
the third egg, so there are 12 11 10
ways to place the first three eggs.
Continuing in this way shows there are

The zero values are obtained from Evelynโs
assumption that anyone with a VCR also has a
TV. Evelyn should question the survey
because only 94 of the 100 households are
represented. (Evelynโs assumption may be

use a monitor instead of a TV to view
videotapesโbut these are very unlikely to
account for 6% of a given sample.) Also, the
stereo and VCR category is missing

Arabic. The rest of the values in the Venn

students take all three languages, and 26 are
not taking any of the three languages.

32. Phillip does two things incorrectly. First, he
sees that he canโt subtract the 9 from the 6, so
he goes to the next column to do an exchange.
He changes the 8 to a 7, but then, instead of
having 16 ones, he adds 1 to 6 to give 7. He
has misunderstood that the 1 he got from the
exchange is actually 10, not 1 unit. Phillip then
proceeds to subtract up anyway (he mistakenly
writes 7 โ 9 as 2).

41. It can be shown that Sameer is correct. The
easiest way to find a sum is to use the largest
Fibonacci number possible as the next
summand, a procedure sometimes called a
โgreedy algorithm.โ For example, to express
100 as a Fibonacci sum, first write down 89
since it is the largest Fibonacci number less
than 100. This leaves 11, so next write down
8. The 3 that still remains to be accounted for
is a Fibonacci number, so 100 = 89 + 8 + 3.
42. (a) Corey is correct. The sum of two even
numbers can be thought of as the sum of
two rows having m columns with two
rows having n columns. The result is two

two rows each having the same number of
columns, the result is always an even
number.
(b) Maya is mistaken. This can be shown by a
counterexample. For example, the sum of
the odd numbers 3 and 5 is the even
number 8.

31. Answers will vary, but should include the fact
that, if we are dividing a by b, then if a b, the
either a โ b = 0 or a โ b > 0. The remainder
cannot be negative in either case because the
process stops before that can happen.
33. Answers will vary. These are sample problems:
Peter has a board 14 feet long, and each box
he makes requires 3 feet of board. How many
completed boxes can be made? Answer = 4.
Tina has a collection of 14 antique dolls. A
display box can hold at most three dolls. How
many boxes does Tina require to display her
entire collection? Answer = 5.
Andrea has 14 one-by-one foot paving stones
to place on her 3-foot-wide walkway. How
many feet of walk can she pave, and how many
stones will she have left over for a future
project? Answer = 4 feet of walk paved, with 2
stones remaining.
34. Answers will vary, but should make the point
that the division a b is approached by
forming a train of length a, and then seeing
how many cars of length b are needed to form
an equally long train.
35. As listed in the theorem, starting with the
second one,
โข It doesnโt matter in which order you
multiply two numbers.
โข It doesnโt matter which way you group
the terms when multiplying three
numbers.
โข Multiplying by 1 never changes the
number (and 1 is the only number for
which that happens.)
โข Zero times any number is zero.
32. Answers will vary. The following are sample
answers.
(a) Have children hold hands in, say, groups
of four. Have one group come to the front
of the class, and verify that 1 4 = 4.

37. This student struggles to see the relationship between multiplication and division exercises. In addition,
students typically have more difficulty when the blank or box is at the beginning of the equation.
38. Answers will vary, but you could first ask for her solution. She may say that since the total cost of one nut and
one bolt together is $1.00, and she is buying 18 of them, the total cost is $18.00. You could then ask her to
justify her response: 18 โ
86 + 18 โ
14 = 18 โ
(86 + 14) = 18 โ
100 = 1800 cents or $18.00. You could then ask her a
question that would lead to her saying it is the distributive property.
39. The student subtracted the number of cupcakes Nelson baked in each pan instead of dividing to find the
number of pans needed to bake all of the cupcakes. This is common because students understand they need to
do something with the numbers, but they arenโt sure what. In this case, the student is not thinking of grouping
the cupcakes into pans, which should be a signal that he should divide rather than subtract, which suggests
removal.
40. Draw a rectangular pool of 30 + 2 feet in length and 20 + 3 feet in width. Then identify the partial products in
the picture.
32 ร 23 = (30 + 2)( 20 + 3) = 30 ( 20) + 2 (20) + 3 (30) + 3 ( 2) = 736
41. The equation is
x 2 โ 3 = 33 โ x 2 = 36 โ x = 6 or x = โ6.
Since we are dealing only with whole
numbers, Jing’s answer is x = 6.
42. Andrea is clever to realize that there can’t be
ft2 added to ft; that is, area with a length
measurement together in one equation can’t be
correct. She needed to notice that
2(5 + 1) = 2ft ร 5 ft + 2ft ร 1ft so there really
is a ft2 throughout the equation.
43. The operation is closed, commutative, and
associative. The circle is the identity, since if it
is either of the โfactorsโ the outcome of the
operation is the other factor.
