Riddle 2: Two friends share K24 equally. How much does each friend get?

Hints

Remember to use the word 'each' to signal sharing.

Shared equally means divide the total by the number of people.

Reuse the exact numbers from the problem.

Subtract the cost from your starting amount.

Find the total cost of the pencils first.

Riddle 4: A fish costs K5, I buy 4 fish. What is the total cost?

Hints

Show the work with simple multiplication.

Total cost is what you spend in all.

Multiply the price of one item by the number bought.

5

Riddle 5: We have K30; we give K6 to charity and share the rest equally among 3. How much does each get?

Hints

Check your division by multiplying back.

Then divide the remainder by the number of people.

7

Riddle 7: I paid K40 for two notebooks; each notebook costs the same. How much for one notebook?

Hints

Division helps find the price per item when total cost is known.

Hints

Each pupil should receive the same amount.

Sharing equally means division.
