Lee and Emma share some beads.
35 of Lee's beads is equal to
310 of Emma's beads. Given that Emma has 20 beads more than Lee, how many beads do they have altogether?
35 of Lee's beads = 310 of Emma's beads
Number of Lee's beads = 5 u
Number of Emma's beads = 10 u
Number of beads that Emma has more than Lee
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
5 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Total number of beads
= 5 u + 10 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 4
= 60
Answer(s): 60
