Silver

1) 3/4 because I know 4 ( the divisor ) ÷ 12 (the dividend ) = 3. There are 3 out of 4.
2) 5/8 . I worked out 8 – 3 = 5 . There is 5 out of 8.
3 ) 2/5 because you need to paint 2 more parts to complete the full vase.
4 ) They keep 5 cobs and use 3/4 for food.
5) The trader sold 10 jade beans and kept 5 . I know this because with fractions you divide by the denominator and times by the numerator.

Gold

1) The scribe carves 56 glyphs on 7 stones. I know this because 7 x 8 = 56.
2) The farmer plants 108 maize plants. I know this because 12 x 9 = 108.
3) 45 drinks are consumed at the feast because 15 x 3 = 45. I worked 15 x 3 by doing 5 x 3 = 15 and 3 x 10 = 30. 15 + 30 = 45.
4) 24 patterns are decorated on the pyramid. I know this by working out 6 x 4 = 24 I then checked my answer by doing 6 ÷ 24 = 4
5) The Mayan trader sells 120 Jade beans. I know this because 5 x 24 = 120. To do this I multiplied 5 by 4 which equals 20 and 20 x 5 which equals 100. I added them and got 120.

Platinum

🌙 = 0
☪️ = 1
🕋 = 5
🕌 = 10
For example:

☪️ + 🕋 = 6
🕌 + 🕋 = 15

1) Each friend gets 3/12 cacao beans because
1 or 12/12 ÷ 4/12 is 3/12
2) 5/8 slices of the cornbread would be left because
1 or 8/8 – 3/8 = 5/8
3) 2/5 would of the vase be left to paint
because 1/5 + 2/5 =3/5 and 1 or 5/5
– 3/5 = 2/5
4) 5 maize or 1/4 of 20 maize is left for seeds of next years planting and 3/4 or 15 maize is left for food
5) The trader sells 6 beads because 2/3 of 15 = 6 and 9 beads are left because 15 – 6 = 9
Gold
1) 56 glyphs are written on the 7 stone tablets because 8 x 7 = 56
2) 108 plants are planted altogether because 12 x 9 = 108
3) 45 cups are consumed altogether because 3 x 15 = 45
4) 24 patterns are there in total because 6 x 4 = 24
5) 120 jade beans are selled by the trader because 5 x 24 = 120
Platinum
O = 0
Q = 1
S = 5
I can use it to make the number by doing things like QO = 10 or SS = 55
I can use it to add things like SO + QS = 50 + 15 and i can use it for subtraction like SSS – QOS = 555 – 105.
