Thanks Tianzhu! You are good! Do you teach Math?

Hi, I’ve got 3 questions. Please help.


1. Cherry and Lindy each saved a fixed amount of money everyday. Lindy who started saving earlier, saved $5 each day. When Lindy had saved for 12 days, Cherry had saved $27. When Lindy had saved for 31 days, Cherry had saved $84. How many days had Lindy saved when their total savings was $375?

2. Mabel has $200 more than Ben. Mabel gives 60% of her money to Ben. Ben then gives 1/4 of his money to Mabel. In the end, Ben has $200 more than Mabel. How much did Mabel have at first?

3. The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a hall was 3:7. After 64 boys and 64 girls left the hall, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls became 2:5. Find the number of pupils in the hall at first.

Thank you!

Hi, I’ve got 2 Math questions.


1. Alan and Dennis had some money. If Alan spends $70 and Dennis spends $35, Alan will have $515 left. If Alan spends $35 and Dennis spends $70, Alan will have $2300 left. How much does each of them have?

2. Mr Lim had some stickers and stamps for his class. The number of stickers was 1/2 the number of stamps. After each pupil in the class had received 3 stickers and 8 stamps from Mr Lim, he had 39 stickers and 2 stamps left. What was the total number of stickers and stamps Mr Lim had at first?

How is the just education power guides? I saw the diagrams and mind-maps inside. Looks nice.

5X5=25


Anyway, don’t think there’s any difference between 5X8 and 8X5.

I am curious, how will the tutor discipline the child if he misbehave. I have a friend who’s looking for a good tutor but seems like her son can’t sit still during tuition. Any tutor out there know how to motivate?

I think we all need some time to ourselves even if you are SAHM. Maybe can put him with your parents or in-laws while you take a break? Or send your child to tuition/enrichment lessons/activities like swimming, etc then you can take a break from him.

Pen88n:

I never had that problem with my nanny. Maybe I was lucky that I found SAHM to be nanny for my kids. My kids learn from the kor kor and jie jie (her kids), and I only enrolled my kids in childcare at about 24 months. Even then, they went to nanny's place for bath and dinner after childcare, and we picked them after work anytime 7-9pm.


In fact, my nanny looks after my kids when they are sick and cannot attend childcare. This saves me the trouble of taking emergency leave and having to reschedule meetings etc.

How much does your nanny charge?

Did you all ask the bus driver about the prices of the school bus? Seems like they can anyhow charge!
