Ben and Wendy share some beads.
37 of Ben's beads is equal to
313 of Wendy's beads. Given that Wendy has 18 beads more than Ben, how many beads do they have altogether?
37 of Ben's beads = 313 of Wendy's beads
Number of Ben's beads = 7 u
Number of Wendy's beads = 13 u
Number of beads that Wendy has more than Ben
= 13 u - 7 u
= 6 u
6 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 6 = 3
Total number of beads
= 7 u + 13 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 3
= 60
Answer(s): 60
