Wholy Moly Decimals!

This week for maths we were working on adding decimals to get whole numbers, Our goal was: Solve problems with fractions, decimals and ratios using a broad range of strategies. For our create task we had to create five word problems with different lengths of decimal points. I did all the questions in my book but here they are:

1. Beth ran 8.5km on Monday and 1.5km on Tuesday, How many kilometres in those two days?

8.5+1.5= 10 kilometres

2. Eilish bought skittles for $5.01 and a drink for $1.99, How much did Eilish spend?

5.01+1.99= $7

3. Caoimhe weighs the two tigers from the zoo, the first one weighs 16.32kg and the other one weighs 10.68kg, How much did they weigh altogether?

16.32+10.68=27kg

4. Lily ordered 36.614kg of fries and 17.386kg of meat patties, How much did the food weigh altogether? 

36.614+17.386=54kg

5. Alice drove 47.273km to Cosair bay and then 24.727km to Taylors mistake. How many kilometres did Alice drive?

47.273+24.727=72 kilometres.
