Hi Nate I had 40 lollies. There are 5 people in my family, including me. How many lollies would everyone get, if the lollies were shared equally? Let me know =)
Hi Nate What a great idea for a blog post. Try this one: My boy Mitchell loves pizza. If he had 2 pizzas which were each cut into 6 slices of pizza and had to be shared by 3 people then how many slices would they each? Ann
Kia ora Nate, It is so awesome to hear about how you like math. Math is such a fantastic subject, and one that really gets your brain thinking! Here are a couple of math questions I have for you: There were 6 mini-buses travelling to the beach, and 78 passengers to transport there. How many passengers will be on each bus? How many donuts would Jimmy get if he has to share a pack of 12 donuts equally between himself and 3 friends? And here’s a bit of a sneaky one! Which weighs more; a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of iron? It would be awesome if you could reply to this comment and let me know your answers! Nga mihi
question 1: 78 divided by 6=13, I used a calculater on my chrome book. Question 2: 12 divided by 4 = 3. question 3: they are both the same, mom had to tell me that one. Thanks.
Kia ora Nate, Thank you for answering the maths questions I gave you! These were some quite tricky questions, so I am very impressed to see that you managed to get them all correct! I really like the way you have laid out the questions into equation form. This is the first step you should do when you get a worded question (such as the one I provided) so that you don’t get confused having to constantly go back and re-read the words. You mentioned how you used a calculator to work out these equations. Did you try to do them by yourself first, or did you go straight to the calculator? You also mentioned how you had to ask your mum for the answer to the third question. This was a very sneaky, tricky question, so I am not surprised you needed a little help! Did you originally have an answer that you thought was correct? It would be awesome if you could let me know! Keep up your amazing maths work! Nga mihi
Hi Nate
ReplyDeleteI had 40 lollies. There are 5 people in my family, including me. How many lollies would everyone get, if the lollies were shared equally? Let me know =)
8x5=40 so everyone gets 8 lollies.
DeleteI like math questions too. Lets see. If there were 72 bananas in a tree and six monkeys came along how many would each monkey get?
ReplyDelete6x12=72 so every monkey gets 12 bananas
DeleteGreeat work Nate. You are correct
DeleteHi Nate, If fifty is half of a hundred and seventy-five is three quaters of a hundred, how would you show me this as a maths equation? Chris
ReplyDelete1/2 x 100=50, 3/4 x 100=75. Thanks for asking chris

2x6=12, 12 divided by 3=4, so everyone will be full. Thanks ann.
