Hi

Good Morning.

For the question on Rachel and Steven, actually MD might not be necessary.

The number of marbles stays the same before and after.

Steven had 144 marbles in the end.

He received 49 marbles from Rachel.

Therefore, he had 144 – 49 or 95 marbles at first.

I’ve also drawn more MD than necessary to show the flow of events. Your child may merge the MD once he/she becomes more familiar.

There are two solutions in one slide.

If the image is not big enough, please let me know.

Hope this helps.

PapayaDad:

(5) = 5 x 5 = 25

(2) = 2 x 2 = 4
(5) x (2) = 25 x 4 = 100

or may be

(5) x (2) = (10) = 10 x 10 = 100

my guess

Your \"guess\" sounds very reasonable..and i think that shall be the answer. thank u.

Hi need help on the following:


Debbie had twice as many dolls as Eileen and thrice as many dolls as Fion.
Given that they had 77 dolls altogether, how many more dolls did Debbie have than Fion?

Thank you!

[PapayaDad]

D=6u

E=3u
F=2u
Total 11u=77
u=11

D-F=6u-2u=4u=44
