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
17 of his money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the buns = _____ 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 buns and the stickers = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
12 of his money =
714 of his money
17 of his money =
214 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 7 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 2 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 14 u - 2 u - 7 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the stickers
= 7 u - 2 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 2; (c) 5 ; (d) 5
