Mr Rogers bought a bag of elastic bands for £6 Each elastic band costs 12p.
Work out the number of elastic bands in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

12p = £0.12

to answer how many elastic bands are in the bag we need to find out how often £0.12 fits into £6.

and that we do by division :

6 ÷ 0.12 = 50

so, there are 50 elastic bands in the bag.

if you cannot use a calculator, this is how you solve this by hand relatively easily :

6 / 0.12 = 6 / 12/100 = 6 × 100/12 = 1 × 100/2 = 50

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
