Mr Nicholas stored his chocolates in 2 jars, which he labelled as Jar A and Jar B. Jar A had 88 more chocolates than Jar B. Mr Nicholas transferred some chocolates from Jar B to Jar A. After the transfer, Jar A now had 112 more chocolates than Jar B. How many chocolates did Mr Nicholas transfer from Jar B to Jar A?


1)6
2)12

Hi Tianzhu,

can you show me your workings?

I am also stuck with the previous questions. Can you help explain to me?

Thank you so much.

At first Jar A : 88 more

End Jar A : 112 more
So the diffrence has increased by 112 - 88 = 24

If transfer 1 from B to A ; B will become 1 less and A will become 1 more ; the difference has increased by 2.

So transfer 12 from B to A ; B will become 12 less and A will become 12 more ; the difference has increased by 12.

In short, 24 needs to be divided by 2.

Hi Tianzhu,


I got it now. Thank you very much.
I have one more question which I need you to explain your answer. Can you help me?

How many eights are there altogether in the product of 222 and 4?
1)3
2)8
3)111
4)888

Thank you so much for your kind help.

[PapayaDad]

Product of 222 and 4 = 222 x 4 = 888


How many 8s are there means 888 / 8 = 111

hope it helps…

Hi,

I have been able to help my girl’s math till I hit this question on multiplication.

If (3) = 3 x 3 and (4) = 4 x 4, then,
(5) x (2) = ( )

Please note that the ( ) is actually a square box. I do not know if the box is significant or not and can’t keep wonder if this is a IQ question or printing error.

Anyone have any idea ? This is one of the school worksheet in multipication.
Thanks
