Mrs. bre teaches english and social studies, mrs. salcido teaches math and science, mrs. toltin teaches physics and english, and mr. howard teaches social studies and math. kayla is a student of all these teachers and believes that english is easier than social studies, science is harder than math, social studies is easier than math, and physics is easier than english. which teacher teaches the easiest class according to kayla?

Mrs. Toltin is the easiest teacher.

Explanation:

To solve this question, a reasoning method must be performed, the methods of rationalizing are those that use logic to get a solution. Among the methods of reasoning are the deductive method (this method follows a series of steps that lead to the logical conclusion of the events) and the inductive method (a universal logic is sought based on the available facts).

To solve this doubt we will use a deductive method:

1.  Kayla things that:

English is easier than Social Studies (Mrs. Bre's class)

Science is harder than Math (Mrs. Salcido's class)

Social Studies is easier than Math (Mr. Howard's class)

Physics is easier than English (Mrs. Toltin's Class)

2. Now we can do a discarding process to eliminate the options:

Kayla thinks that Science is the most difficult class, consequently, Mrs. Salcido is not the teacher.

She believes that English is easier than Social Studies, and Social Studies is easier than math. Consequently, Social Studies and Mathematics are more difficult than English, these classes are provided by Mr. Howard, so he is not the easiest teacher.

3. Now we can already eliminate two options and can conclude:

Kayla indicates that English is easier than Social Studies, but Physical is easier than English. That is, for her, the two easiest subjects are physical and English, both taught by Mrs. Toltin.

The most logical conclusion is: Mrs. Toltin is the easiest teacher.

I hope this information can help you.
