John from Biggest Little Farm found 290m of fencing to recycle to make pens for his sheep.

Each pen needs 80.5m of fencing.

What is the maximum number of pens can John make?

• 290 ÷ 80.5

• 80.5 ÷ 290

• 290 x 80.5

• 290 + 80.5

• 290 - 80.5

Answer explanation

To find the maximum number of pens John can make, divide the total fencing (290m) by the fencing needed for each pen (80.5m). Thus, the correct calculation is 290 ÷ 80.5.

John from Biggest Little Farm found 290m of fencing to recycle to make pens for his sheep.

Each pen needs 80.5m of fencing.

How much fencing material is left over?

Order the correct sequence of steps required to solve the problem:

• Divide available fencing by the length of fence required for each pen

• Round the quotient down to the find the maximum number of pens John can build

• The leftover length will be the difference from the total required materials and the 290m John found.

• Multiply the max number of pens John can build by the length required for each pen for the total required material

• Subtract the available fence length from the total required materials

How much framing material is left over?

• 2.8m

• 2.4m

• 0.4m

• 5.2m

Answer explanation

To find the leftover framing material, subtract the used amount from the total. If 5.2m was the total and 4.8m was used, then 5.2m - 4.8m = 0.4m remains. Thus, the correct answer is 0.4m.
