SHOE SIZE CAN TELL YOUR AGE?

Mathematics is a very important component of the GED and an essential skill for the workplace.
Here is a quizz I use in my GED Class for Adult learners.

SHOE SIZE CAN TELL YOUR AGE?

Try it and see if it works for you. It worked for me.
 
· 1. Take your shoe size.(only whole sizes)
· 2. Multiply it by 5.
· 3. Add 50.
· 4. Multiply by 20 ...
· 5. Add 1012.
· 6. Subtract the year you were born…
· The first digit is your shoe size while the last 2 digits are your age..

TRY IT…YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!!
