Hi

A neat way is to use MD or you may use units.

Draw 1 box + 6 to show Sam.

Draw 11 boxes to show Lenny.

Ryan’s share ------- 1 box + 6 + 10 (Sam has 10 fewer marble than Ryan.)

11 boxes + 1 ------- 4 boxes + 64 (The number of marble Lenny has is 1 less than 4 times that of Ryan's.)

7 boxes ------ 63

1 box ------- 9

Please continue from here.

The answer is 139.

tom spent 7/9 of his money on 6 chicken burger, 16 hamburger and 12 nuggets. he could spent all the remaining money on 4 chicken burger and 8 nugget, but changed his mind to spend it on hamburger only.

a) how many hamburger did tom buy with the remaining money?
b) if tom has $45, how much did each hamburger cost?

7u=6c+16h+12n

2u=4c+8n
1u=2c+4n
7u=14c+28n

since 7u = 7u ; so

6c+16h+12n = 14c+28n
16h = 8c + 16n (this is actually = 4u)
16h = 4u
2u = 8h ; can buy 8 hamburger with the remaining money

if he have $45; his remaining is 2/9 = $10 can buy 8 hamburger
each hamburger cost 10/8 = $1.25

Hi

Please check your source because you'll end up with decimals.You are more likely to be given a card in a whole piece rather than partially.

hi tianzhu

went home sit down to look through the answer
i do not understand this part,
11 boxes + 1 ------- 4 boxes + 64 (The number of marble Lenny has is 1 less than 4 times that of Ryan's.)

since Lenny has 1 less than 4 times of Ryan, why his his 11 boxes +1? shldnt it be -1 instead?

in fact i do not quite comprehen the first sentence of this sum.
the number of marble lenny has is 1 less than 4 times that of Ryan's.

thks so much for helping

hi tianzhu,
i just checked, no typo mistake. (not sure if the mistake is on the worksheet )
i got this from DS school worksheet

my method is below:
i drew 7 units, 3 units for girls and 4 units for boys
since each girl received 3times as each boy
so i put 3 in each unit of the girls and 1 for each unit of the boys
total 13 in each group
1001 / 13 = 77 groups
the number of boys get - 77 x 4 = 308
the number of girls get - 77 x 9 =693
693 - 308 = 385

i didnt use the \"49 children\" as a clue
is it correct?
