Q1) May bought 3 apples and 4 oranges. Sally bought 4 apples and 3 oranges. Sally paid $0.20 more than May. May paid $3.40 for the fruit. Find the cost of 2 apples.


Q2) The figure shown below is made up of 4 equal rectangles. Its perimeter is 28 cm. Calculate its area.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

May paid $3.40, Sally paid $3.60

Total paid by May & Sally = $7.00 = 7 apples + 7 oranges
So, 1 apple + 1 orange = $1

Sally paid $3.60 for 4 apples + 3 oranges, so 1 apple = $3.60 - $3.00 = $0.60, 2 apples = $ 1.20

Q2. length = 3 x breadth... with this, I think you can solve it

cheers.

Hi MathIzzzFun! Thanks for your help!

For Q2, I'm not able to solve it... :oops: :?:

Hi! Thanks for solving. I am very blurred. Not very good in model. May I know why used two boxes?


Actually, my DD solved the first part. But, all the adult kept asking her why 5 units? Said that she cannot use this matter.

As for the other question, how to use 4 x 4 when the question asked rectangle? It will become a square, right?

:? :?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you

Question: Gopal, Jack, Timothy have 60 Stamps altogether.
Timothy has 20 stamps more than Jack. Timothy has twice as many stamps as Gopal.

(a) How many stamps does Gopal have?
(b) How many stamps should Jack give to Timothy so that Timothy would have thrice as many stamps as Jack?

Hi

You may use MD.

Draw 2 boxes for Jack.
Draw 2 boxes + 20 for Timothy.
Draw 1 box + 10 for Gopal

5 boxes (5 units )+ 30 ------- 60
1 unit ------ 6

a)Gopal ------- 6+10 ------ 16

b)Timothy and Jack had (32+12) or 44 stamps altogether.

Divide into 4 parts

Timothy ------ 33
Jack -------11

Jack must give 1 (33-32) stamp to Timothy.

Best wishes

Q2. length = 3 x breadth... with this, I think you can solve it

For each rectangle, breadth = 1u, length = 3u, perimeter of figure = 2 x (3u+3u+1u) = 14u = 28cm. So, 1u = 2cm

Area of figure = 3u x 4u = 6cm x 8 cm = 48 cm2

Hi

For the first question,your DD is right to use 5 units.

As for the second question, a square is a special rectangle.
