Let’s solve this step by step using the table of points:
Table:
- Olivia: 10 points
- James: 8 points
- Liam: 12 points
- Nora: 6 points
---
Question 1: Who got the highest points?
Look at all the scores: 10, 8, 12, 6 → The biggest number is
12, which belongs to
Liam.
✔ Answer: Liam
---
Question 2: How many points did James and Nora get?
James = 8, Nora = 6 → Add them: 8 + 6 =
14
✔ Answer: 14
---
Question 3: How many fewer points did Olivia get than Liam?
Liam = 12, Olivia = 10 → Subtract: 12 - 10 =
2
✔ Answer: 2
---
Question 4: How many more points did James get than Nora?
James = 8, Nora = 6 → Subtract: 8 - 6 =
2
✔ Answer: 2
---
Question 5: Two kids got a total of 16 points. Who were they?
Check pairs:
- Olivia (10) + James (8) = 18
✘
- Olivia (10) + Nora (6) = 16
✔
- James (8) + Liam (12) = 20
✘
- Liam (12) + Nora (6) = 18
✘
→ Only
Olivia and Nora add up to 16.
✔ Answer: Olivia and Nora
---
Question 6: Who got a score higher than Nora but less than Olivia?
Nora = 6, Olivia = 10 → We need someone with more than 6 but less than 10.
Look at the others:
- James = 8 → Yes! (6 < 8 < 10)
- Liam = 12 → Too high
→ Only
James fits.
✔ Answer: James

Final Answer:
1. Liam
2. 14
3. 2
4. 2
5. Olivia and Nora
6. James
