A jar of slime costs five
pounds. Which note is worth five
pounds?
Have you ever been shopping for
slime? Well, in this question, we’re going
to have to. In the first sentence, we’re told
that the jar of slime that we can see in the picture costs five pounds. And underneath, we’re given some
more pictures. These show a type of money called
notes. Whereas coins are made out of
metal, notes are really thin. They’re made out of paper or
plastic. And we’re asked, which one of these
notes is worth five pounds? Now there are lots of clues we
could use to help us here. Firstly, we know how to write the
number five as a word because it’s in the question: F-I-V-E, five. And we also know how to write it as
a number.
Now the note we’re looking for has
got the number five written on it both in words and as a number. It’s not the first note. This note has the number 10 written
on it. It’s written as a number at the
top. And can you also see it’s written
in words near the bottom? This note is worth 10 pounds. Our second note does have a five
written on it. But can you see there’s a zero that
comes after the five? This note is worth more than five
pounds. This note has a value of 50
pounds. And so this only leaves us with
this bluey-green colored note on the end.
We can see that this note has the
number five written as a number. And if we look really carefully, we
can see it written in words too. And can you see that the way that
five pounds is written in the top corner is exactly the same as the way it’s written
on the jar? The note that is worth five pounds
is this one.
