Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Bryan spends
14 of his money on some beads.
He spends
35 of his remaining money on some marbles.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan 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 =
14 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
14=
34 Fraction of his money spent on the marbles
=
34 x
35=
920Make the denominators the same.
14 =
520920 =
920Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 5 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 9 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 20 u - 9 u - 5 u
= 6 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads
= 9 u - 5 u
= 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 9; (c) 6; (d) 4
