It's ongoing now. The link and room code are just above this chat

Olivia

9:41

OK thanks i'll do it now

BEN

9:42

I am stuck on 22

Mr Warbrick

9:42

Okay Ben. How much of the rectangle is shaded?

BEN

9:42

3/12

Mr Warbrick

9:43

That's the circle. The rectangle has 6/9 shaded

So, I need to find equivalent fractions to both to find a common denominator, then I can compare

9:45

Sorry, that overcomplicates it, this question is simpler than I'm making it

BEN

9:45

i have do it now

Mr Warbrick

9:45

Great!

9:55

Well done Josh who has completed today's Maths task. Excellent work!

BEN

10:01

when is it going to end

Mr Warbrick

10:02

It's running all day Ben. I'll be here helping throughout the morning

Kacie

10:07

Hi Mr Warbrick how are you doing

Mr Warbrick

10:07

Good morning Kacie! I'm good thank you. Hope you are well too?

Kacie

10:08

Yes I’m fine

Mr Warbrick

10:08

Great, are you ready to logon to LbQ?

Kacie

10:08

Yes I am going to do it now

Lewis

10:09

im stuck on 28

Mr Warbrick

10:09

Okay, this is a tricky question I think!

We need to start by simplifying the fraction. So 3/15 =?

Lewis

10:09

1/5

Mr Warbrick

10:10

Good. Now, we can use trial and error to work out what the answer is.

10:11

If i multiply the numerator by 20 so that the numerator is 20, I have to do the same to the denominator. 5 x 20 is 100

But, the digits of 100 don't equal 4 so 20/100 isn't the answer event though it is an equivalent fraction

10:12

You've got to test the other possible answers it could be with a numerator between 20 and 30, hopefully finding the correct answer along the way!

As I say, hard question but I think you can get there eventually!

BEN

10:12

Q27 I don't understand why it says don't include units in you answer. I get 144kg

Mr Warbrick

10:13

Q27 wants a mixed number answer Ben.

It's asking you what 9/20 + 1/100 + 1/50 is basically

Give your answer as a mixed number without including the 'kg'

Kacie

10:14

mr Warbrick please can I have help on question 2

Mr Warbrick

10:14

Yes. 1/2 is = to how many eighths?

Use the diagrams on the question to help

Kacie

10:15

Is it 4/8

Mr Warbrick

10:15

It is! So then 4/8 + 1/8 =?

BEN

10:15

thanks

Kacie

10:15

Is it 5/8

Mr Warbrick

10:15

Yes, well done

10:16

Lewis, I;m not sure if you can still see the chat but you're very close with 26/132!
