Three men—Fred, Ed, and Ted—are married to Joan, Sally, and Vickie, but not necessarily in that order. Joan, who is Ed’s sister, lives in Detroit. Fred dislikes animals. Ed weighs more than the man who is married to Vickie. The man married to Sally breeds Siamese cats as a hobby. Fred commutes over 200 hours a year from his home in Ann Arbor to his job in Detroit. Match up the men with the women they married.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ed=Sally

Ted=Joan

Fred=Vickie

Explanation:

Joan

-cant be married to Ed because they are related

-She lives in Detroit so it couldnt be Fred. Why would a married couple live apart from each other?

Vickie

-It cant be Ed.

Sally

-Cant be Fred because he doesnt like animals.

That leaves Ed for Sally and Fred for Vickie.

Hope this helps.

According to the description, we can say that Sally is married to Ed, Joan is married to Ted, and Vickie is married to Fred.

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

  1. Joan has to be married to Ted, because Ed is her brother and Fred lives in another town. So Ted is the only one we can match with her.
  2. Sally's husband can't be Ted, because we've already found out he's married to Joan. Her husband can't be Fred either, because he doesn't like animals and her husband keeps cats. So the only man we can match her with is Ed.
  3. The only man left that we can match with Vickie by elimination is Fred.

In this case, we can say that this question can be answered through logical reasoning.
