- How many kiwis were left?
- How many lemons did Vaidev have at first?

Before |
5x2 =
10 u |
7 u |
Change |
- 2x2 =
- 6 u |
- 5 u |
After |
3x2 =
6 u |
2 u |
(a)
Fraction of the kiwis left
= 1 -
25 =
35 Fraction of the lemons left
= 1 -
57 =
27The number of kiwis and lemons left were the same. Make the number of kiwis and lemons left the same. LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
Number of kiwis at first = 10 u
Number of lemons at first = 7 u
10 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 10 = 10
Number of kiwis left
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
(b)
Number of lemons at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= 70
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 70
