This is a riddle that in order to solve, students will need to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. Once they have solved the problems, they will be able to solve the riddle. This is a great in class or homework assignment. My students worked on this in class and loved solving the riddle (a lot of them play football)! Answer key is included!
