Try a question
Mia has 84 marbles and Jack has 56 marbles. How many marbles should Mia give Jack so that they both have the same number?
- 14
- 28
- 70
- 140
Answer
A. 14. The difference is 84 − 56 = 28. Each marble Mia gives Jack reduces the difference by two, so she should give 28 ÷ 2 = 14 marbles.
