118 -
29 = 1 -
118 -
418 =
1318Make the numerators the same.
1318 of the amount =
44 of the remaining amount
5272 of the amount =
5252 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on beads =
118 =
472 Amount that Adam spends on stickers =
29 =
1672 Amount that Adam spends on marbles
=
34 x 52 u
= 39 u
Amount that he has left
= 52 u - 39 u
= 13 u
13 u = 39
1 u = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 4 u
= 4 x 3
= $12
(b)
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 16 u
= 16 x 3
= $48

Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 39 u
= 39 x 3
= $117
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 12 + 48 + 117
= $177
Answer(s): (a) $12; (b) $48; (c) $117; (d) $177
