Maths Week - Day 5 Problems

Here are your challenges for today:

Junior Problem:

Mr Rangi has lots of rubbish bins to clean. On Monday he cleans three bins. On Tuesday he cleans eight bins. On Wednesday he cleans half the amount of bins that he did on Tuesday. On Thursday he had more to clean. By Friday morning he had cleaned 23 bins altogether. How many bins did he clean on Thursday?

Senior Problem:

Matua Dudley had a whole packet of chocolate biscuits.  He was feeling very hungry, so he ate 4/7 of the biscuits.  That left only 12 chocolate biscuits for Mr Cressey.  How many biscuits were in the packet to begin with?

  1. Miss Breen, that was a really hard question for Room 11, but we think that Mr Rangi cleaned 8 rubbish bins on Thursday.

  2. We solved the problem and worked out that Mr Rangi cleaned 8 rubbish bins on Thursday. We worked out the problem by counting on from the biggest number.
