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 cupcakes.
He spends
19 of his money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the stickers = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
13 of his money =
39 of his money
19 of his money =
19 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 3 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 1 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 9 u - 1 u - 3 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 1; (c) 5 ; (d) 2
