Math Word Problem- Please help?

The National Foundation of Medical Research held a highlyattended conference each year in Washington, DC. The

Foundation had a series of awards that could be presented during

the conference to doctors and medical professionals who had

made a significant contribution to furthering medical knowledge in

a main area of study. However, the awards were not generally

awarded every year as the candidates must have made an

outstanding and recognizable contribution to the science of

medicine, which probably helped explain why the Foundation鈥檚

awards were considered some of the most prestigious in the

medical industry. This year, several of the awards were given out

to candidates scattered across the nation.

Determine the full name of each recipient (one had a last

name of Foster), the area of medical research each recipient

contributed to (one area was back injuries), and the city where

each recipient lived.



1. The doctor who came from Chicago was given an award for

his research into cancer.

2. Patricia was researching heart disease but she didn鈥檛 live in

Miami.

3. Harry鈥檚 last name wasn鈥檛 Atkins. Amy didn鈥檛 live in Charlotte.

4. Ms. Ford鈥檚 award was for her work in DNA mapping.

5. Michelle Slater wasn鈥檛 researching mental diseases.

6. Chet lived in Dallas. The doctor whose last name was

McQueen worked in Seattle
