Let’s solve this step by step.
We have four monkeys, each holding a number:
- Top monkey has
4
- Second monkey has
2
- Third monkey has
1
- Bottom monkey has
3
On the right side, we have groups of bananas:
- Top group:
3 bananas
- Second group:
4 bananas
- Third group:
2 bananas
- Bottom group:
1 banana
The task is to match each monkey (by its number) with the correct group of bananas — meaning, the monkey with number “4” should be matched with the group that has 4 bananas, and so on.
So let’s pair them:
→ Monkey with
4 → needs
4 bananas → that’s the second group from top (the one with 4 bananas)
→ Monkey with
2 → needs
2 bananas → that’s the third group from top (the one with 2 bananas)
→ Monkey with
1 → needs
1 banana → that’s the bottom group (only 1 banana)
→ Monkey with
3 → needs
3 bananas → that’s the top group (3 bananas)
Now, we need to paste each monkey next to the correct banana group. So in order from top to bottom:
Top row: Monkey with 4 → goes with 3 bananas? Wait — no! That doesn’t match. Let me double-check.
Actually, looking again at the layout:
Left column: Monkeys with numbers 4, 2, 1, 3 (top to bottom)
Right column: Banana groups: 3, 4, 2, 1 (top to bottom)
But we are supposed to cut and paste — meaning, we move the banana groups to match the monkey’s number.
So for the first monkey (number 4), we want to paste the banana group that has 4 bananas — which is the second banana group from the top.
Similarly:
Monkey 4 → paste banana group with 4 bananas (second from top on right)
Monkey 2 → paste banana group with 2 bananas (third from top on right)
Monkey 1 → paste banana group with 1 banana (bottom on right)
Monkey 3 → paste banana group with 3 bananas (top on right)
So if we were to rearrange the banana groups to go beside each monkey correctly, it would look like:
Row 1: Monkey 4 + [banana group with 4]
Row 2: Monkey 2 + [banana group with 2]
Row 3: Monkey 1 + [banana group with 1]
Row 4: Monkey 3 + [banana group with 3]
But since the worksheet asks us to “cut out and paste in the correct spot”, we’re matching each monkey to the banana group that matches its number.
Final Answer:
Match as follows:
- Monkey with 4 → banana group with 4 bananas
- Monkey with 2 → banana group with 2 bananas
- Monkey with 1 → banana group with 1 banana
- Monkey with 3 → banana group with 3 bananas
