Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
15 of his money on some muffins.
He spends
19 of his money on some beads.
- Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the beads = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
15 of his money =
945 of his money
19 of his money =
545 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 9 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 45 u - 5 u - 9 u
= 31 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the beads
= 9 u - 5 u
= 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 5; (c) 31 ; (d) 4
