Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Bryan spends
13 of his money on some marbles.
He spends
23 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the marbles =
13 Fraction of his money left after spending on the marbles
= 1 -
13=
23 Fraction of his money spent on the beads
=
23 x
23=
49Make the denominators the same.
13 =
3949 =
49Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 3 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 4 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 9 u - 4 u - 3 u
= 2 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles
= 4 u - 3 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 4; (c) 2; (d) 1
