MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – You wait ages for a bus then 3 come along at once…

Well done to all of those who commented on the Maths Challenge last week. Emily posted the highest amount on the blog so she can have 5 HPs – well done Emily! Miss Jackson also found a way to make £600 so I think she deserves 5HPs too!

Here is this week’s Maths Challenge…

Each bus can hold 11 passengers.

There are some families waiting at bus stop to get on the bus.

 The Simpsons (a family of 5 )
The Martins (a family of 2 )
The Jacksons (a family of 8 )
The Smiths (a family of 3 )
The Beckhams (a family of 6 )
The Garcias (a family of 3 )
The Adams (a family of 6 ).

Can you assign families to buses without having to split the families up?

Leave a comment letting us know who you would put on each bus.

  2. demilee says:

    The first bus is 8+3=11
    The second bus is 6+5=11
    The third bus is 6+3+2=11
    Altogether the answer is 33

    The anser is…
    The Simpsons(5)+The Adams(6)=11=1 bus,
    The Jacksons(8)+The Smiths(3)=11=1 bus and finally
    The Martins(2)+The Beckhams(6)+The Garcias(3)=11=1 bus and altogether the 3 buses are full and there are 33 people all together.

    There are 11 on each bus Korben but you needed to decide which family to put on each bus.

    Well done Demi, Megan and Andie – you put the people on the buses correctly and can have 3 HPs each!
