Betty baked 240 scones. She gave 60 scones to Asher and some scones to Luke. She had
35 of the total scones left.
- How many scones did she have left?
- What fraction of the total scones did she give to Luke?
(a)
Total number of scones = 5 u
5 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 5 = 48
Number of scones that Betty had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 48
= 144
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Luke
= 240 - 144 - 60
= 36
Fraction of the total scones that Betty gave to Luke
=
