Mrs George baked
12 as many banana wafers as chocolate chip wafers. She also baked
23 as many banana wafers as apricot wafers. If she baked a total of 63 wafers, how many banana wafers did she bake?
| Banana |
Chocolate Chip |
Apricot |
| 1x2 |
2x2 |
|
| 2x1 |
|
3x1 |
| 2 u |
4 u |
3 u |
The number of banana wafers is the repeated identity. Make the number of banana wafers the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of wafers
= 2 u + 4 u + 3 u
= 9 u
9 u = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 9 = 7
Number of banana wafers
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= 14
Answer(s): 14
