12 coins
Anna must have put 12 coins on the table.
At first she had 6 coins which had tails facing up, but when she flips two coins there were 4 coins facing up with tails and 4 is 1/3 of 12.

8 coins were on the table?
Good try Ariella but it’s not quite right. Remember the number has to be able to be divided by 3 as it says 1/3 were tails up. Have another go! It took me a couple of tries to get the right answer!
There were 12 coins on the table
as half of 12 equals 6 and 6-2 equals 4 and so 4/12 equals 1/3

Hello,
Anna had 12 10p coins ?to start with.
Anna put 12 coins on the table as half of 12 is 6 and 6+2=8 which is 2/3 of 12.
12 coins because one half of 12 is 6, and one third of 12 is 4, which is two less than one half, 6.
12 coins.
In my opinion it is 12
12 coins
Anna put 12 coins on the table.
This is because there are half of the coins facing tails and half of the coins facing heads, then the tails gain 2 more coins.
so xâž—2 – x âž—3 = 2
which means 3x over 6 minus 2x over 6 = x over 6
and x over 6 = 2
and 2 x 6= 12
(none of this might make sense to you but my overall answer is 12
There were 12 coins altogether!
The answer was 12!
