47 of the total scones left.
- How many scones did she have left?
- What fraction of the total scones did she give to Tom?
(a)
Total number of scones = 7 u
7 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 7 = 40
Number of scones that Zoe had left
= 4 u
= 4 x 40
= 160
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Tom
= 280 - 160 - 60
= 60
Fraction of the total scones that Zoe gave to Tom
