Q&A - P3 Math

[allcc6]

Need help on how to present working for this question :


Florence wants to give some pencils to every child in her class. If she were to give 2 pencils to each child, she would have 13 pencils left. If she were to give 3 pencils to each child, she would have 5 pencils left. How many children are there in her class?

Hi allcc6 ,


Extra pencils to be given away = 13 - 5 = 8

Additional pencil to give to each child = 3 -2 = 1

Number of children = 8 / 1 = 8 children (Ans)

Need help to solve the below 2 questions:

1) Mavis drank 3/8 litre of milk. Janet drank 1/4 litre more milk than Mavis. Samantha drank 1/2 litre less milk than Janet. How much milk did Samantha drink?

2) Amy spent 3/10 of her money on a blouse and half of the amount she spent on the blouse on a bag. Then she spent the rest of her money on two pairs of shoes. If each pair of shoes cost $33, how much did she spent on the bag?

Hi

You may solve them using MD.

Q1

Draw a bar, divide into 8 units

Mavis ----- 3 units
Janet ----- (2 + 3) ------ 5 units
Samantha ------ (5 - 4) ----- 1 unit ------1/8 litres of milk

Q2

Use equivalents fractions to avoid working with decimals
3/10 ----- 6/20

Pls help! Thks

No of Oranges No of Pears Total no of fruits
28 0 28
26 1 27

From the above data , we can see that ,

No of pears + Total no of fruits = 28

When total no of fruits = 20

no of pears = 28 -20 = 8 (Ans)

no of oranges = 20 - 8 = 12 (Ans)
