Ahmad had
110 as many beads as Warren. Warren had twice as many beads as Tim. If Ahmad had 196 beads fewer than Tim,
- how many beads did Ahmad have?
- how many beads did they have altogether?
(a)
Number of beads that Ahmad had = 1 u
Number of beads that Warren had = 10 u
Number of beads that Tim had = 10 u ÷ 2 = 5 u
Number of beads that Ahmad had fewer than Tim
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 196
1 u = 196 ÷ 4 = 49
Number of beads that Ahmad had
= 1 u
= 49
(b)
Total number of beads that they had
= 1 u + 10 u + 5 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 49
= 784
Answer(s): (a) 49; (b) 784
