Solve using AGONSA.
David read a book over two days. On the first day, he read 2/5 chapters, and on the second day, he read 4/6 of a chapter. How many chapters did David read in total?
AGONSA is an acronym for Asked, Given, Operation, Numbers, Solution, Answer. It is a step-by-step guide to solving problems - mainly in mathematics but, with a little modification, in the wider context as well. 1. Asked: What does the question ask you to do? 2. Given: What information has been provided in the question. It is possible that some of the information is not required, but leave that to later. 3. Operation: Think about the question and decide what operations, and in which order, you need to perform. Generally these will be the four basic binary operations (+, -, x, /). While the operations could be more advanced, you will probably no longer need AGONSA by then. 4. Numbers: Identify the numbers on which you need to perform these operations. Some of these will be given to you explicitly. Others (eg number of grams in a kilogram) you may be expected to know. Still others you may be expected to work out - using a second level AGONSA. 5. Solution: Carry out the operation on the numbers to get the solution. 6. Answer: Write the answer.
AGONSA is a traditional Ethiopian dish made from a variety of ingredients, usually including injera (a sourdough flatbread) and various stews called wot. To prepare it, cook the wot using lentils, vegetables, or meat, seasoned with berbere spice and simmered until tender. Serve the wot on top of injera, allowing it to soak up the flavors. Finally, enjoy it with your hands by tearing off pieces of injera to scoop up the stews.
