Fill in the blanks.
Adrian spends
12 of his money on 4 marbles and 3 beads.
Each bead costs twice as much as each marble.
Let the price of 1 marble be 1 u.
- Cost of 1 bead = _____ u
- Amount that Adrian has spent = _____ u
- Amount that Adrian has left = _____ u
- Amount that Adrian has at first = _____ u
(a)
Change X times into units.
Cost of 1 marble = 1 u
Cost of 1 bead = 2 x 1 u = 2 u
(b)
Amount that Adrian has spent
= 4 x 1 u + 3 x 2 u
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
(c)
Fraction of the money he has left
= 1 -
12 =
12 12 of his money = 10 u
12 of his money = 1 x 10 u = 10 u
Amount that Adrian has left = 10 u
(d)
Amount that Adrian has at first
= 10 u + 10 u
= 20 u
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 10; (c) 10; (d) 20
