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
29 of his money on some beads.
- Amount that Adam spends on the buns = _____ 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 buns and the beads = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
12 of his money =
918 of his money
29 of his money =
418 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 9 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 4 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 18 u - 4 u - 9 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the beads
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 4; (c) 5 ; (d) 5
