Bryan and Cody have some yellow markers and some green markers. The number of green markers Bryan has is equal to the number of yellow markers Cody has. ¹₄ of Bryan's markers are yellow and ¹₃ of Cody's markers are green. There are a total of 64 yellow markers. Find the total number of markers they have.

Bryan		Cody		Total
Yellow	Green	Yellow	Green
	1x6	1x6
1x2	3x2	2x3	1x3
2 u	6 u	6 u	3 u	17 u

The number of Bryan's green markers and Cody's yellow markers is the same.

The number of Bryan's green markers is repeated. The number of Cody's yellow markers is repeated.  Make the number of Bryan's green markers and Cody's yellow markers the same.  LCM of 3 and 4 is 6.

Number of yellow markers
= 2 u + 6 u
= 8 u

8 u = 64

1 u = 64 ÷ 8 = 8

Total number of markers
= 2 u + 6 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 8
= 136

Answer(s): 136
