Mark and Vincent have some yellow notebooks and some silver notebooks. The number of silver notebooks Mark has is equal to the number of yellow notebooks Vincent has. ¹₄ of Mark's notebooks are yellow and ⁵₆ of Vincent's notebooks are silver. There are a total of 44 yellow notebooks. Find the total number of notebooks they have.

Mark		Vincent		Total
Yellow	Silver	Yellow	Silver
	1x3	1x3
1x1	3x1	1x3	5x3
1 u	3 u	3 u	15 u	22 u

The number of Mark's silver notebooks and Vincent's yellow notebooks is the same.

The number of Mark's silver notebooks is repeated. The number of Vincent's yellow notebooks is repeated.  Make the number of Mark's silver notebooks and Vincent's yellow notebooks the same.  LCM of 3 and 4 is 3.

Number of yellow notebooks
= 1 u + 3 u
= 4 u

4 u = 44

1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11

Total number of notebooks
= 1 u + 3 u + 3 u + 15 u
= 22 u
= 22 x 11
= 242

Answer(s): 242
