He puts 3 of the treasure to aside for himself.  \nHe gives ¼ of what is left to his friend Bill.  \nHe buries the remaining 12 bars on a secret island.  \nHow many bars did the pirates have?  \nHint: using fraction strips might help you to solve this problem!  \n| Captain’s bars (3 ) | LEFT OVER | LEFT OVER |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n\n| Bill (¼) | LEFT OVER | LEFT OVER | LEFT OVER |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n12 BARS  \nThese fraction strips show that there were 12 bars left at the end. This means that the remaining 3 parts of Bill’s strip must be worth 12 bars. Therefore each of the parts in Bill’s strip must be worth 4 bars, and Bill should receive 4 bars.  \nThis means that the remaining 2 parts of the Captain’s strip must be worth 16 bars. Therefore each of the parts in the Captain’s strip must be worth 8 bars.  \nSo the Captain gets 8 bars of gold. Bill gets 4 bars of gold. The crew get 6 bars of gold, and 6 bars get buried. The total number of bars is 24.","cbCaiqH1XjzUBBdd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqH1XjzUBBdd","pdf",226483,"English","# Share the Treasure Challenge 4\n## Problem Statement\n## Solution and Explanation","[{\"question\":\"How many gold bars were buried on the island?\",\"answer\":\"There were 12 bars buried on the secret island.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the total number of bars calculated in the problem?\",\"answer\":\"The problem is solved by using fraction strips to determine that the 12 buried bars represent three-quarters of the treasure remaining after the Captain took his share, allowing for the calculation of the initial total of 24 bars.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the final distribution of the 24 gold bars?\",\"answer\":\"The Captain receives 8 bars, Bill receives 4 bars, the crew receives 6 bars, and 6 bars are buried on the island.\"}]","Share the Treasure Challenge - 4 | PDF",1792669068]
