Hi,


Need someone to help to solve this P4 Math for my son.

Gina and Gary arranged a number of chairs equally into 12 rows and were short of 36. When they re-arranged them into 7 equal rows, there were 229 chairs left. How many chairs were there in all?

Thanks so much

[smartmummy]

12n-36=7n+229

we have to put the numbers and check
n=53
I just give a hint not a proper solution. I think the hint is correct, if I am wrong pls correct me. I just try to help.

Thanks so much

229+36=265
12-7=5
265/5=53
53x12=636
636-36=600

Sorry, I can't draw the model.

Hi,


Need help on this 2 questions:-

1) Jill and Kim went shopping with the same amount of money. After Jill spent $600 and Kim spent $56, Kim had nine times as much money left as Jill. How much were they left with altogether?

2) When Ginny buys 3 kg mangoes, she will have $7 left. However, she will need $13 if she buys 5 kg of mangoes. How much money does she have?

Many thanks!

1)
[][600]
[]...[][56]. 9units
So 8u=600-56=544
u=544/8=68
9u+1u=10*68
Ans=680

2)

[][][][7]
[][][][][]{13}. { -dotted lines in the model
2kg=$20
310+7=$37
Ans $37
Checking 510-13=$37

U r welcome!
Last year, I just stared at the qns and answers, I think unconsciously I absorbed. luckily, last year, my son no need to solve this type of qns. Now I can do some qns.it's time to give back to the KSP community!
