| Before |
5x2 =
10 u |
10x1 =
10 u |
| Change |
- 1x2 =
- 2 u |
- 1x1 =
- 1 u |
| After |
4x2 =
8 u |
9x1 =
9 u |
The number of cards that Raeann and Gabby each had at first is the same. Make the number of cards that Raeann and Gabby each had at first the same. LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Number of cards that Raeann and Gabby used
= 2 u + 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of cards that Gabby had in the end
= 9 u
= 9 x 8
= 72
Answer(s): 72
