For every 30 croissants that Adam bakes,
he bakes 10 tarts.
He bakes a total of 40 croissants and tarts.
- How many tarts does he bake?
- How many more croissants than tarts does he bake?
(a)
Number of croissants and tarts per set
= 30 + 10
= 40
Number of sets
= 40 ÷ 40
= 1
Number of tarts that Adam bakes
= 1 x 10
= 10
(b) Number of croissants that Adam bakes
= 1 x 30
= 30
Number of more croissants than tarts
= 30 - 10
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 20
