1985
1985 + ? = 2010
1985 + 15 = 2000 + 10 = 2010
15 + 10 = 25 - years
How many more months from April to July? 3 Months
7 + ? = 9

Hi Laki, this is Mrs Collins again from Manaiakalani and I'll be commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year.
ReplyDeleteHere's my workings out on the problem...
1985 > 2010 = 25yrs
7th April > end of April = 23 days
May = 31 days
June = 30 days
> 9th July = 9 days
= 23+31+30+9= 93 days
April = 30 days, May = 31 days, June = 30 days (92 days)
2 days left over
= 25 yrs, 3 months and 2 days.
Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
