This proved quite a difficult challenge for many of you. First of all a big well done to Abbas, Mia, Dev and Luca for having a go. Yasmin was the only one who got both answers correct. Here is her answer:
Yasmin Kudrati-PlumberMar 19 (9 days ago) My strategy was to start backwards and continue from there, Andy had 24 which was 2/3 of what he shared with Sam so 14 divided by 2 is 7 and 7 plus 14 is 21 which is half of what the other children took, 21 plus 21 is equal to 42 and 1/3 plus 1/6 is 1/2 so 42 is equal to 1/2 so 42 plus 42 is the answer, there were 84 marbles in the bag before it broke. The answer to the next part was 84 take away 14 which is 70 so the number of marbles that he gave away or lost was 70 and that would be as a fraction 10/12. I hope I am right and I think this was a good challenge for homework.
