There are 264 balls in Raeann's collection. The number of her white balls is 5 times the number of her gold balls.
- How many gold balls does she have?
- How many white balls does she have?
(a)
Number of gold balls = 1 u
Number of white balls = 5 u
Total number of balls
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
6 u = 264
1 u = 264 ÷ 6 = 44
Number of gold balls
= 1 u
= 44
(b)
Number of white balls
= 5 u
= 5 x 44
= 220
Answer(s): (a) 44; (b) 220
