Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
35 of his money on some buns.
He spends
16 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.
35 of his money =
1830 of his money
16 of his money =
530 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 18 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 30 u - 5 u - 18 u
= 7 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the marbles
= 18 u - 5 u
= 13 u
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) 5; (c) 7 ; (d) 13
