There are 132 balls in Vanessa's collection. The number of her yellow balls is 5 times the number of her silver balls.
- How many silver balls does she have?
- How many yellow balls does she have?
(a)
Number of silver balls = 1 u
Number of yellow balls = 5 u
Total number of balls
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
6 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 6 = 22
Number of silver balls
= 1 u
= 22
(b)
Number of yellow balls
= 5 u
= 5 x 22
= 110
Answer(s): (a) 22; (b) 110
