How would you go about solving the following maths problem:

Rebecca (m=40kg) is at the bus stop when her friends drive up. She can either sit in the front seat or the back seat. The front seat has a coefficient of static friction u=.5
The back seat has a coefficient of static friction u=.7. If she sits in the front seat she has to hold her friend's books (m=10kg). If she wants to maximize her total static friction force possible, which seat should she most likely take?

a) front seat but not the back seat
b) back seat but not the back seat
c) either the front seat or the back seat
And what would you say is your favourite aspect of the language of Mathematics? Did you do it at school and do you enjoy it?
