Jane baked 300 wafers. She gave 30 wafers to Flynn and some wafers to Liam. She had
35 of the total wafers left.
- How many wafers did she have left?
- What fraction of the total wafers did she give to Liam?
(a)
Total number of wafers = 5 u
5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 5 = 60
Number of wafers that Jane had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 60
= 180
(b)
Number of wafers that Tina gave to Liam
= 300 - 180 - 30
= 90
Fraction of the total wafers that Jane gave to Liam
=
