  1. The answer is 64 because 25+39=64
    First I went 20+30=50 and then I went 5+9=14
    50+14=64

  3. Easy
    39 +25 = 64

    5x5= 25 (3/5 of 25 = 15) so 25-15 = 10 left

    Medium

    3x12=36
    3x13=39
    3x14=42 so they can make 14 tricycles

    5.50- 3.30= 2.20
    2.20 divided by 2 = 1.10
    so jos gave rico $1.10 to have the same amount

    Hard

    10x27=270
    3x27=81 so 270+ 81 = 351 cookies

    1kg = 1000gms so
    7kgs + 600gms + 11kgs + 800gms 19kgs 400gms so
    19kgs x 1000 = 19000gms +400gms = 19,400gms of apples
