Apple math

Tony Patch
If I bought 4 Granny Smith, 3 Gala, 3 Golden Delicious, 2 Red Delicious, and 2
Fuji apples how may apples did I buy?
 Hint:

I like to group things together.

I ate six of the apples I bought and I want to plant their seeds. If
each apple has five seeds in its center, how many apple trees can
I grow?
 Hint:

I don’t want to keep

adding. There has to
be an easier way.
When I planted the apple seeds I tried my best to grow them into apple trees
but 12 of them did not grow. How many trees did I grow?
 Hint:

How many did I start with?

How many didn’t grow?

Each of my apple trees produced twenty apples this year. I have three friends
that want some apples? If I want to give some of the apples to my three
friends, how many apples will each person get?
Hint:

How can I find out

how to share the
apples equally with
my friends and I?
 Answers:

Problem 1: I bought 14 Apples.

Problem 2: I can plant 30 Trees.

Problem 3: I grew 18 trees.

Problem 4: Everyone will get 90 apples.
