A cheeky schoolboy was caught by his mother using Amazon Alexa to cheat on his maths homework.<br /><br />Allen Ramirez, eight, asked the audio virtual assistant smart speaker subtraction questions.<br /><br />Mum Iris Molina filmed Allen, a third-grader, in his bedroom doing his homework and whispering questions to Alexa.<br /><br />Allen is heard asking: "Alexa? What is 97 minus 68?" - to which the device responds in whispers "97 minus 68 is 25."<br /><br />After getting the answer, he writes it down and then goes on to the next question.<br /><br />Iris, an administrative worker, from Phoenix, Arizona, USA said: "He doesn't usually ask Alexa for any help when it comes to his homework. <br /><br />"He usually just asks her what time it is or to play his brown noise for bedtime. <br /><br />"I honestly didn't know he was aware he could ask Alexa homework questions.<br /><br />"I was shocked and amused. I couldn't stop laughing and thought my child was very clever."<br /><br />Despite asking Alexa for help on his maths homework, the subject is his favourite in school and Iris says he does well in class and "loves it very much".<br /><br />The footage was captured on February 22.
