FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE

For homework this week we did a family maths challenge I will ask you the question and then I will show you how I worked it out. Danielle found 23 eggs. She smiled broadly because she had found eight more eggs than Chris and Danielle combine. Steven found half as many eggs as Jenny. How many eggs did each child find? How many all together? now i will tell you how I figurd it out.

Danielle She had 8 more eggs than Chris so I do a subtraction 23-8=15
23 eggs Which leaves Chris to have 15 eggs

Chris Jenny had found Danielle's and Chris's amount of egg combined
15 eggs so i do a multipication 23+15=38

Jenny
38eggs

Steven I just halved the amount of eggs that Jenny found so I do division
19 eggs 38 divided by 2 = 19
