Dear friends,
We have got more tasks for you:-)

1. There are 100 apples and only 5 baskets. How to place all apples into the baskets?
2. My dad had 5 banknotes of 20 euros. He bought a pair of shoes and spent 56 euros. He bought a jumper and spent 25 euros. How much money was left for his coffee?
3. There are 45 apples on the oak. Each branch holds 5 apples. How many apples are there on the oak? :-)
4. One landlord had 5 servants and a big palace of 100 rooms. One servant tidies 20 rooms every day. How many days do they need to tidy all the rooms? Half the rooms?

GOOD LUCK   :-D

  1. Most of our students answered 100/5=20 or 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100. But we had some who answered: 60 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 or 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 20 or 20 + 20 + 40 + 10 + 10 or 40 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 30. We have lots of answers we can give because this is an open problem.

  2. 2) 5 x 20 = 100
    100 - 56 = 100 - 50 - 6 = 50 - 6 = 44
    44 - 25 = 44 - 20 - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19
    For his coffee he has 19€.

    Other answer:
    56 + 25 = 81
    100 - 81 = 100 - 80 - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19€

  3. 3) 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 45 The oak has 9 branches with 5 apples each.

    Other answer:
    45 / 5 = 9

  4. If each servant tidies 20 all together they tidy 100 rooms in one day!
    5 x 20 = 100

  5. You should be clever and think about OAK AND APPLES:-) Is it possible???:-)

    But you are good at maths because your answers to the other tasks are correct. Thanks.
