MUST-KNOW PSLE MATH PROBLEM 3
Question:
Three boys spent the same amount of money on printers.
Henry spent 2/5 of his money, Jonas spent 3/4 of his and Fred spent 2/3 of his.
They had a total of $1440 at first. How much of money did each boy spend?
————————————————————————————————-
Answers:
Since Each boy spent the same amount of money, you make the numerator the same.
Henry Jonas Fred
2/5 x 3 3/4 x 2 2/3 x 3
6/15 6/8 6/9
The denominator now represents the total Units they each had.
15 Units 8 Units 9 Units
TOTAl Amount: $1440
Total Units : 15+8+9= 32 Units
32 Units -> $1440
1 Unit -> $45
Since Each of them Spent 6 units,
6 Units-> $45 x 6 = $270.
Each boy spent $270.
——————————————————————————————–
KEY WORDS/THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR?
1) It is a Fraction question
2) It has words like Spent/used the Same/Equal .
I have made another similar sets of question below for you to MASTER THE TECHNIQUE. Let us know what are your answers on our Facebook Page “‘ https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeLearner/”. All the best for your revision.
——————————————————————————————-
Question 1:
Mary and Tom used the same number of beads to make jewelries.
Mary used 2/5 of hers and Tom used 3/4 of his. They both had a total of 2300 beads.
How many beads did each of them use?
Question 2 :
There are 540 people in Block A and Block B. 2/5 of the people in School A and 1/4 of the people in School B are Children. Given that there is an equal number of Adult in both Block A and Block B, how many Children are there in School A?

Next week’s free tuition: P5 Math (Sat, 23 Aug, 11am – 12.30 pm)
Every week starting next week, I will choose a particular level and subject and give free coaching on one of its fundamental topics so that weak students can move on and hopefully catch up with others. Without grasping these fundamentals or knowing good techniques, these students will be left far behind and may eventually end up hating the subject.

Update on PSLE math and science intensive revision june 2014
I’m quite happy that to date, 6 and 5 students have signed up for my june hols psle math and science intensive revision workshops respectively. My intention was to prepare my own daughter comprehensively for psle math and science, and the classes will continue even if she is the only student.
Each 3h lesson will consist of mini-lectures to highlight the important concepts to be tested at the PSLE, short worksheets with must-know questions that the students must do, and discussions at the end to reinforce the salient points of the topic. For math, I will display different ways to solve the same problem sum so that students can select their natural method of solving math questions. For Science, I will highlight common errors in answering the structured questions.
As it is a REVISION workshop, each worksheet will have easy to hard questions, and the faster students can do more questions while the slower students will be given guidance along the way.
There will be another PSLE intensive revision in the Sep hols, but I’ve not yet decided whether it will be a repeat or a continuation of the June one.
As with the previous year, participants will be invited to attend my post-PSLE Algebra workshops sometime in Nov or Dec, for which I already have one student signed up. : )
I believe in what I do, as I’ve successfully guided my eldest daughter (and most of my students) to make the transition from lower to upper pri, from upper pri to lower sec, and from lower to upper sec, without much academic pain.
I look forward to meeting the PSLE workshop participants this June.
Rgds,
Ilyasa
