Diamond is 78.=A0 Apply each operation consecutively to get the rest,
i.e., Circle =3D 40, Square =3D 440, Triangle =3D 88, Hexagon =3D 115, =
Oval =3D
230, Star =3D 211.=A0 This type of sequential equation phrasing =
(producing a
result that follows an equals sign, and then applying an operation) is
commonly practiced in grade-school and high-school math, and does not
represent a chain of equalities. - David Ruhm

The following problem was presented to a group of third
graders.=A0 I have=20
a solution from the teacher that I disagree with.=A0 I thought I would=20
pose the problem to a group of mathematics professionals and see if=20
anyone comes up with the teachers answer.=20
I will state the problem twice as I am not sure how these things
will=20
translate in the various e-mail systems.=20
In words:=20
Diamond minus 38 equals Circle times 11 equals Square divided by 5=20
equals Triangle plus 27 equals Hexagon times 2 equals Oval minus 19=20
equals Star.=A0 Star equals 211.=A0 What number should replace each =
shape.=20
In symbols:=20
diamond - 38 =3D circle x 11 =3D square /5 =3D triangle +27 =3D hexagon =
x 2 =3D=20
oval - 19 =3D star=20
Star =3D 211.=A0 What number should replace each shape.=20
