Barbara baked 300 scones. She gave 70 scones to Flynn and some scones to Tim. She had
310 of the total scones left.
- How many scones did she have left?
- What fraction of the total scones did she give to Tim?
(a)
Total number of scones = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
Number of scones that Barbara had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Tim
= 300 - 90 - 70
= 140
Fraction of the total scones that Barbara gave to Tim
=
