Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Adam spends
314 of his money on some beads.
He spends
34 of his remaining money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
314 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
314=
1114 Fraction of his money spent on the marbles
=
1114 x
34=
3356Make the denominators the same.
314 =
12563356 =
3356Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 12 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 33 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 56 u - 33 u - 12 u
= 11 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads
= 33 u - 12 u
= 21 u
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 33; (c) 11; (d) 21
