Question

Six teachers sat down for lunch at the round table in the faculty room. Ms. Bailey sat between the science teacher and the math teacher. Mr. Vollert, the math teacher, sat between the music teacher and Ms. Bailey. The ELA teacher sat next to the science teacher. The science teacher sat between the Spanish teacher and Mrs. Strain. Mr. Holman isn't a writer. Mrs. Karels cannot carry a tune, but she sat between Ms. Merridy and Mrs. Strain, one of which is very musical.

Directions: Use the diagram to the right to figure out where each teacher sat at the faculty room table. Write their name and what subject they teach on the correct chair. Use the bottom of this page to brainstorm!

Answer 1

Answer:
Ms. Bailey is the Spanish teacher.
Mr. Vollert is the Math teacher.
Ms. Merridy is the Music teacher.
Mr. Holman is the Science teacher.
Mrs. Strain is the ELA teacher.
Mrs. Karels has no specified subject.

The Seating Chart would look as such:
Mrs. Bailey (Spanish)
Mr. Vollert (Math) Mr. Holman (Science)
Ms. Merridy (Music) Mrs. Strain (ELA)
Mrs. Karels (No subject)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told from the very beginning that Mr. Vollert is the Math teacher. Therefore none of the other teachers can teach math. We know that Mrs. Bailey sits beside the science teacher and Mr. Vollert (Math). Mr. Vollert (Math) sits beside Mrs. Bailey and the music teacher. Therefore, Mrs. Bailey can be neither the music teacher nor the science teacher. The ELA teacher sits beside the Science teacher. The Science teacher sits between the Spanish teacher and Mrs. Strain. Meaning Mrs. Strain cannot be the Spanish teacher, so she has to be the ELA teacher. Mr. Holman isn't a writer, which means he doesn't teach ELA. Mrs. Karels cannot carry a tune, meaning she doesn't teach Music. Mrs. Karels sits between Ms. Merridy and Mrs. Strain (ELA), and one of them can carry a tune. That person has to be Ms. Merridy (Music) because Mrs. Strain already has a subject assigned to her. Now we have two teachers left, Mr. Holman and Mrs. Karels, one of which teaches Science and the other has an unspecified subject. Ms. Karels can't teach Science because the Science teacher sits between Mrs. Strain (ELA) and Mrs. Bailey (Spanish) and Ms. Karels sits between Mrs. Strain (ELA) and Ms. Merridy (Music), therefore the Science teacher is Mr. Holman (Science).
