Poppet:

Sam and Daniel had 1670 marbles altogether.After Sam had given 96 marbles to Daniel, San had four times as many marbles as Daniel.

(a) How many marbles did Daniel have at first?
(b) How many marbles did Sam have in the end?



Can anyone help with this question? :thankyou:

(a) 1670/5=334

Daniel has 334 marbles after Sam gave him 96 marbles.

Hence, 334-96=238

Daniel have 238 marbles at first.

(b) Since Sam have 4 times the marbles Daniel have at the end,

334*4=1336

Sam have 1336 marbles at the end.

I hope this is correct:D

Thanks.

u denotes the number of dolls left AFTER Fiona had given 10 away.

So before Fiona gave them away, she had (u+10) dolls.

A big thank you to Papayadad and Big devil for your enlightenment.

a) the distance he jogged was = 3/8 + 1/2 =3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8

b) the total distance jim covered was = 3/8 + 7/8 = 10/8 = 1 1/4

the answer given may be wrong. i have checked the question and the figures are right. do u have the workings for the question?

Hi

Siti, Rahmesh and Peter had 528 stickers at first. Siti bought another 32 stickers, Ramesh gave 1/5 of his stickers away and Peter was given as many stickers as he had at first by his father. In the end, all three of them had equal number of stickers. Find the number of stickers Siti had at first.

Change 32 to 33, and you’ll get Siti ----- 171 stickers@first.

Due to time constraints, I’ll not draw the MD, just some pointers

In the end

Siti ------- 4u

Ramesh ------ 4u

Peter ------ 4u

At first

Siti ------- 4u – 33

Ramesh ------ 5u

Peter ------ 2u

11u ------ 561

1u ------ 51

You may continue from here.

Best wishes

Hi,
