Question

keira has 83 spelling words to study in 8 weeks. she already knows 3 words. she will study the same number of words each week. how many spelling words will Keira study each week?

Answer 1

10 because she already knows 3 so then you divide 80 (number of words she hasn’t learned) by 8 (the number of weeks) and you get 10.

Answer 2

Hey You!

83 - 3 = 80

Let's get rid of that 3!

Now that we know how many words she must practise, let's divide that by the amount of weeks:

80 / 8 = 10

So, Keira will study 10 words every week.
