The children skipped excitedly across the crowded playground.The teacher
appeared at the gate with a huge box full of toys! He placed it on the
bumpy floor and took out all the short, broken skipping ropes.
The mistakes are:
Ropes is spelt wrong.
Skipped is spelt wrong.
There should be no question mark on the sentence ‘The teacher appeared at the gate with
a box of toys’.
Of is spelt wrong.
Place should have been placed.
Good morning miss Carruthers, here’s my answer:

Paul‘s age x 2 + 5= 35
Paul‘s age x 2= 35-5
Paul‘s age x2 = 30
Paul‘s age = 30:2
Paul‘s age = 15
The answer is 15
…..x2+5=35
….= 35-5=30:2=15
Paul is 15 because 35 – 5 = 30 and 30 halved is 15.
