310 of the total scones left.
- How many scones did she have left?
- What fraction of the total scones did she give to Ivan?
(a)
Total number of scones = 10 u
10 u = 250
1 u = 250 ÷ 10 = 25
Number of scones that Jane had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 25
= 75
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Ivan
= 250 - 75 - 50
= 125
Fraction of the total scones that Jane gave to Ivan
=
