Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
1. Mrs. Smith's Ice-cream
*
Step 1: Identify the total number of ice-creams (24) and the number of friends (4).
*
Step 2: To share them equally, divide the total by the number of friends: $24 \div 4$.
*
Calculation: $24 / 4 = 6$.
2. Sofia's Fish Bowls
*
Step 1: Identify the amount of water in each bowl: $4 \frac{1}{4}$ litres and $2 \frac{3}{4}$ litres.
*
Step 2: Add the whole numbers together first: $4 + 2 = 6$.
*
Step 3: Add the fractions together: $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$.
*
Step 4: Simplify the fraction: $\frac{4}{4}$ is equal to 1 whole litre.
*
Step 5: Add the whole numbers from Step 2 and Step 4: $6 + 1 = 7$.
3. Rex and Rahim's Apple
*
Part A (Total Eaten):
* Add the fractions eaten by Rex ($\frac{1}{4}$) and Rahim ($\frac{2}{4}$).
* Calculation: $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$.
*
Part B (Left Over):
* The whole apple is represented by $\frac{4}{4}$.
* Subtract the amount eaten ($\frac{3}{4}$) from the whole ($\frac{4}{4}$).
* Calculation: $\frac{4}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$.
4. Joshua's Pizzas
*
Step 1: Find out how much pizza was shared with friends. He shared half of what he bought (4 pizzas).
* Calculation: Half of 4 is 2. So, 2 pizzas were given to friends.
*
Step 2: Determine how much pizza remained before Joshua ate any.
* Calculation: $4 \text{ (total)} - 2 \text{ (shared)} = 2$ pizzas left.
*
Step 3: Calculate how much Joshua ate. He ate $1 \frac{3}{4}$ of a pizza.
*
Step 4: Subtract what Joshua ate from what was left to find the final remainder.
* We need to solve: $2 - 1 \frac{3}{4}$.
* Think of 2 as $1 \frac{4}{4}$.
* Subtract the whole numbers: $1 - 1 = 0$.
* Subtract the fractions: $\frac{4}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$.
5. Neeson's Movies
*
Step 1: Find the number of movies where he was a villain. This is half of 100.
* Calculation: $100 \div 2 = 50$ movies.
*
Step 2: Find the number of movies where he was a good father. This is $\frac{1}{4}$ of 100.
* Calculation: $100 \div 4 = 25$ movies.
*
Step 3: Find the number of comedian movies. First, add the villain and father movies together: $50 + 25 = 75$.
* Subtract that sum from the total (100) to find the rest: $100 - 75 = 25$ movies.
*
Step 4: The question asks for the total of "good father" and "comedian" movies combined.
* Calculation: $25 \text{ (father)} + 25 \text{ (comedian)} = 50$.
Final Answer:
1. 6 Ice-creams
2. 7 litres
3. Eaten: 3/4; Left: 1/4
4. 1/4 of a pizza
5. 50 movies
