Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
12 of his money on some buns.
He spends
13 of his money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the buns = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the marbles = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
12 of his money =
36 of his money
13 of his money =
26 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 3 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 2 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 6 u - 2 u - 3 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the marbles
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 2; (c) 1 ; (d) 1
