Weekly Maths Problem

Don’t forget to write out the Weekly Maths Problem at the top of your page, date the work and show all your workings out (even the wrong answers) and then file the evidence in your folder!

This is a multiple step question, break it down into steps to carry out.

Nicola has some posting to send. She puts the letters into 4 envelops measuring 15 cm by 12 cm. She adds 4 stamps: one to each letter. The stamps measure 4 cm by 2 cm.

What is the area of envelopes not covered by the stamps?

The only help I am going to give is - Don’t forget the back of the envelope!

You can share your answers here on Facebook or in the forum or with me as I visit during the week. Remember you need to show your workings out to get the maximum points.
