Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
13 of his money on some buns.
He spends
18 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.
13 of his money =
824 of his money
18 of his money =
324 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 8 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 3 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 24 u - 3 u - 8 u
= 13 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the beads
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 3; (c) 13 ; (d) 5
