For every 90 cookies that Adam bakes,
he bakes 40 tarts.
He bakes a total of 130 cookies and tarts.
- How many tarts does he bake?
- How many more cookies than tarts does he bake?
(a)
Number of cookies and tarts per set
= 90 + 40
= 130
Number of sets
= 130 ÷ 130
= 1
Number of tarts that Adam bakes
= 1 x 40
= 40
(b) Number of cookies that Adam bakes
= 1 x 90
= 90
Number of more cookies than tarts
= 90 - 40
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 50
