Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
34 of his money on some muffins.
He spends
18 of his money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = _____ 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 muffins and the marbles = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
34 of his money =
68 of his money
18 of his money =
18 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 6 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 1 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 8 u - 1 u - 6 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the marbles
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 1; (c) 1 ; (d) 5
