Maths Word Problems

1. Ben made two types of cookies. He used 2/3 cup of sugar for one recipe and 1/4 cup of sugar for the other. How much sugar (in cups) did he use in all?

4/4x2/3= 8/12

1/4x3/3=3/12

The answer is 8/12+3/12=11/12

2. There is 3/8 of a pizza in one box and 1/4 of a pizza in another box. How much do you have altogether?

4/4x3/8=12/32

4. A jug contains 3/4 litre of orange juice. After you pour 5/8 of litre into a glass, how much is left in the jug?

Simplify it:

So I counted how many 32’s in 44 and there was 1 there was remaining 12

The answer is 1 12/32

Lyrebird

The lyrebird in my opinion is a very talented bird, this bird is the first bird that i have seen and heard that can make different sounds like manmade sounds. If you would like to watch the video click on the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSZtoXIb7do … I think this bird is amazing I also heard that the lyrebird lives in the rainforest and in other wet dripping soggy places this bird makes sounds like: Construction workers, laser gun, two kookaburra sounds at once, it makes a sound that relates to a car alarm going off, sounds of a saw and chainsaw. Also sounds of a child’s toy gun, and more.

I am so fascinated about this bird I would like to learn more, I actually wish that I could make sounds like the lyrebird because of its amazing talent. This lyrebird is a really talented and cheerful bird. I have noticed what the bird looks like. I will describe this bird: It has jet-black beaming eyes… Its feathers are black like the night sky… Its tail has dark blue and black fashionable feathers with a recognisable colour of brown feathers.

Mothers Day Writing

Mothers Day

My talented joyful mum is a beautiful, lovely, and generous person takes a walk into the kitchen, in there she finds my siblings and I sitting on the chairs in front of the kitchen dining table.

Just then we hear sausages sizzle on the top of the frying pan as my mum cooks it, it smelt marvellous as we watch her toss and turn the sausages with the tongs. My mum dished out our lunch, few minutes later as we finalize our lunch we went and played board games with our mum, my sister won most of the games.

Our mum is active to go for a walk and loves trying new things in her life she is an enthusiastic person when there is a family event, she also volunteers at the family center here in glen innes and helps them with events along with my dad. My mum is at the age of 38 but to me it’s like she’s in her early 30s.

My mum has the talent to bake, she bakes her remarkable famous cake for us when we have birthdays which is delicious and glorious, “Mmmmmmmm” is all i hear when we dig into the cake. My mum can swim, cook, bake, and create meals with whatever is in the cupboard, when she cooked the food it was like out of this world I was speechless.

My mum is unique and loves to do her inside things like baking, cooking, creating which is fun, so she taught me how to cook, and now I cook breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner.

I am thankful and grateful that my mum gets to teach me heaps of things like cooking and baking by the way is really fun, she is special in all different ways. My siblings and I love you dearly.

HAPPY  MOTHER'S DAY !!!!!!
