For every 20 shortbreads that Adam bakes,
he bakes 10 muffins.
He bakes a total of 30 shortbreads and muffins.
- How many muffins does he bake?
- How many more shortbreads than muffins does he bake?
(a)
Number of shortbreads and muffins per set
= 20 + 10
= 30
Number of sets
= 30 ÷ 30
= 1
Number of muffins that Adam bakes
= 1 x 10
= 10
(b) Number of shortbreads that Adam bakes
= 1 x 20
= 20
Number of more shortbreads than muffins
= 20 - 10
= 10
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 10
