Question

Pinocchio’s nose is 9cm long. If he lies, his nose grows by 6cm. If he tells the truth, it shortens by 2cm. He tells a lie 4 times, and the truth twice. How long is Pinocchio’s nose now?

Answer 1

29 cm

Explanation:

(6x4) + 9

(6x4) = 24 cm

24 + 9 = 33 cm

(2x2) - 33

(2x2) = 4 cm

4 - 33 = 29 cm

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

29 cm

Explanation:

We Know

Pinocchio’s nose is 9cm long.

His nose grows by 6cm if he lies.

His nose shortens by 2cm if he tells the truth.

He lies 4 times and truth 2 times.

We Take

9 + (6 x 4) - (2 x 2) = 29 cm

So, Pinocchio's nose now is 29 cm.
