Mrs Zane baked
12 as many chocolate chip tarts as banana tarts. She also baked
27 as many chocolate chip tarts as strawberry tarts. If she baked a total of 52 tarts, how many chocolate chip tarts did she bake?
| Chocolate Chip |
Banana |
Strawberry |
| 1x2 |
2x2 |
|
| 2x1 |
|
7x1 |
| 2 u |
4 u |
7 u |
The number of chocolate chip tarts is the repeated identity. Make the number of chocolate chip tarts the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of tarts
= 2 u + 4 u + 7 u
= 13 u
13 u = 52
1 u = 52 ÷ 13 = 4
Number of chocolate chip tarts
= 2 u
= 2 x 4
= 8
Answer(s): 8
