Question

Leonard made some muffins. He gave 5/8 of them to his grandmother and 10 muffins to his aunt. He had 11 muffins left. How many muffins did he have at first?

Answer 1

Leonard had 56 muffins at first. If you add 10+11=21 and that would make up 3/8. if you divide 21 by 3 to get 1/8 you get 7. If 1/8 is 7, 8/8 is 56 because 7*8=56.

Answer 2

Leonard made some muffins. He gave 5/8 of them to his grandmother and 10 muffins to his aunt. He had 11 muffins left. How many muffins did he have at first?

If you take 10 and 11 and add, then you'll have 3/8 of the muffins, so 21/3 is 7 and 7*8 is 56, so you'll have 56 muffins to start. and Leonard gave 35 to his grandmother.
