This week for maths our problem was: Miriama is making 'ei katu. 1/4 of the 'ei katu has pink flowers, 1/5 of it has yellow flowers, 20% of it has white flowers and the rest of the 'ei katu is made up of leaves.
How we solved it:
1/4 = 25%
1/5 = 25% = 100%
1/5 = 25%
25% + 20% + 20% = 65%
We needed a way to make 65% to 100%. So we calculated how many more numbers we needed to make 100% and it was 35%. We needed 35% more to make 100%.
so we did 65% + 35% = 100%
35% are leaves
65% are flowers.
Just checking Marshall, why is 1/4% is the same as 1/5%?...
ReplyDeleteI can see you know how to solve your problem and well done for that. Keep practising your maths problem Marshall and you'll be awesome when it comes to a solve problem like this, okay?
