Worked examples
Mia has 24 stickers. She gives 7 to her brother. How many does she have left?
- 17
- 14
- 18
- 31
Answer: 17. 24 − 7 = 17.
A teacher has marked this answer wrong. The problem said: "Lia had 24 sweets, ate 1/4, then gave away 6. How many are left?" The pupil wrote 18. What's missing?
- The pupil forgot to subtract the 6 sweets given away.
- The pupil divided by the wrong fraction.
- The pupil multiplied instead of subtracted.
- The answer is correct.
Answer: The pupil forgot to subtract the 6 sweets given away.. 1/4 of 24 = 6 eaten, so 18 left after eating. Then 18 − 6 (given away) = 12. The pupil stopped after step 1.
A coach travels at 60 km/h for 3 hours, then at 70 km/h for 2 hours. What is the total distance?
- 650 km
- 320 km
- 390 km
- 180 km
Answer: 320 km. Leg 1: 60 × 3 = 180 km. Leg 2: 70 × 2 = 140 km. Total: 180 + 140 = 320 km.
