Hi, I don't know how to teach my gal's math homework. What is


24/4=____=____/5=_____x3=____/10=____/3=____

this q is found in shaping maths activity book.

Any idea?

Hi peapot,

The key point is 24 / 4 = 6

____/5 = 6
____x3 = 6
___/10 = 6
____/3 = 6

24/4 = _6_ = _30_/5 =_2__x3 = _60_/10 = _18_/3 = _6_

Solution:
Twice of Ramesh's sweets is 8+12 = 20 sweets. Each of them had 20/2 +12 = 22 sweets at first.

Thanks for the reply but why 8+12?

The answer sheet says 22 sweets for each child.


Do we always presume that 12+8 belongs to the 2 units? if this is so then 1 unit is 10 sweets, so both should have 10 sweets each at first. Why 22 sweets? Sorry I m slow in maths.
