Maths WK5


The shop is selling jandals for $9 a pair.  They have sold $486 worth of jandals so far. How many pairs have they sold? 

486 ÷ 9 = ___
9 x ___ = 486
9 x 50 = 450  then 
9 x 4 = 36 which makes 486
So they have sold 50 + 4 jandals = 54

There are  8 boxes. Each box has 25 apples in it. How many apples are there altogether?
20 X 8 = 160
8 X 5 = 40
The answer: 200


Extra Question: 1. Trevor has to drive 422 km’s. He looks at his odometer and sees he has gone 289 kms. How much further has he got to go? 289+133=422 So add 1 to 289 which makes 290 then add ten to make 300 then add 122 which makes 422.

  1. Good strategies Melvin. I wonder if you could have had a go at number 10 though.
    10. Mult/Div
    The school has been donated packets of felt pens to share out evenly between the 22 classes. How many feltpen packets does each class get if they got given 308 packets?
