Brain Teasers
Mad Ade's Funky Fractions 3
The idea of this teaser is to split the given words into the relevant fractions and then add the two fractions of words into one single word, once you have worked out which fraction of the word you need.
For example 3/5 of Green and 1/2 of Neat would be Great, as per:
3/5 of green =Gre
1/2 of Neat= at
gre+at= Great
The first part of the fraction in the teaser will be in the first part of the finished word and all letters are used in the correct order with no skipping of letters, i.e. 2/5 of Green cannot be GE because it skips the letter R, but it could be EE.
1. 1/2 of love + 1/3 of dismal
2. 1/3 of frivolous + 3/4 of mend
3. 3/5 of joker + half of funnel
4. 3/7 of stumble + 1/2 of strident
5. 1/3 of beyond + 3/5 of mouth + 3/4 of full
