Help stuck in q17
Your model where you labelled the "give to nb" is incorrect, you should cut it into half...
1) 4/5 x 400 = 320
2) 400 - 320 = 80
3) 1/2 x 80 = 40
See 2 Answers
So you draw 5 bars = 400 cupcakes
Shade away 4 bars cause she sold it away.
5 units = 400 cupcakes
1 unit = 400 ÷ 5 = 80 cupcakes
Find 4 units ( the number that she sold away )
4 units = 80 x 4 = 320 cupcakes
Now she left 1 over 4. But half of the ones she left, she gave them away to her neighbours. So know you know she left 1 unit cause 5 units - 4 units she sold away = 1 unit. The 1 unit is 80 cupcakes. She gave them half way. So 80 x 1 over 2 = 40 OR
80 ÷ 2 = 40.
I hope it helps! :)
