Emma baked 300 scones. She gave 80 scones to Glen and some scones to Cole. 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 Cole?
(a)
Total number of scones = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
Number of scones that Emma had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Cole
= 300 - 90 - 80
= 130
Fraction of the total scones that Emma gave to Cole
=
