NOTEBOOK ACTIVITY:
There are a total of 100 kilos of Sagada
pears harvested in Mt. Province.
RuRi are going to try very hard to bring
them through the landslide at Mt. Data
Monamon Sur (road to Baguio City).
NOTEBOOK ACTIVITY:
They are going to pass them hand-over-hand to a
vehicle waiting on the other side and travel to
Manila.

By buying these local pears, not only will we help

our landslide-affected highland farmers, but
we are also getting a taste of rare local fruit.
NOTEBOOK ACTIVITY:
Addison, their first buyer bought 10 1/2 kgs of
pears. Jona, the next customer also
bought 6 3/4 kgs. Another two consumers came by
and purchased 3 1/4kgs each.
Lastly, Ryan purchased 20 1/2 kgs. How many
kilograms of pears were left?
