Maths Problem Solving

Well done to Rosie Norton who correctly answered the upper primary problem from week 3!!!

Week 4

Lower:

Pizza Place has just two big tables. If 7 people can sit around each table, how many people can be seated altogether?

Chicken N Chips also has two big tables. If 16 people altogether are seated, how many people are at each table?

Middle:

There are 2 pirates and 4 treasure chests on an island. The pirates have 1 small boat to take the treasure to their ship. The boat can take 2 pirates or 1 pirate and 1 chest of treasure. How many trips do the pirates have to take to get all the treasure and both pirates onto the ship?

Upper:

On Monday, RPS, Rosie and Mava share lollies that they've been given. Rosie has been given twice as many lollies as RPS, and Mava has three times as many lollies as RPS plus two lollies. They are given the same number of lollies each day up to (and including) Friday. Altogether, they are given 70 lollies.

How many lollies did RPS get on Monday?
