Monday, July 12, 2021


Unequal Sharing 


Unequal sharing means that you share a number of items between two or more people but in a way that one person gets more than the other. 


Important Steps: 

        - Subtract

        - Divide 

        - Add


Example: 

        Jacob and Janet together have 210 mangoes. Share the mangoes so that Janet receives 10 more than Jacob. 

                        Step 1: Subtract

                                        210 - 10 = 200

                        Step 2: Divide by 2

                                       200 ÷ 2 = 100 (Jacob)

                        Step 3: Add 

                                        100 + 10 = 110 (Janet)       


1. Divide 40 markers between Annie and Sam so that Sam gets 10 more than Annie.


2. Share $250 between John and Dan with John getting $50 more than Dan.  


3. Share $230 between A and B giving A $12 more than B.    


4. The total length of 2 pieces of rope is 108 cm.  If one piece is 18 cm shorter, what is the length of the longer piece?


5. The total cost of a snack box and a chicken sandwich is $25.50.  If the snack box costs $5.00 more than the sandwich, how much does the sandwich cost?       


6. A man has $940. He shares it between his son and daughter so that his son gets $80 more. How much does each child get?

However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever.
