- Number of more red stickers than blue stickers = _____
- Total number of stickers = _____
- Number of less blue stickers than red stickers = _____
(a)
The number of red stickers is 3 times the number of blue stickers.
The number of blue stickers is the smaller group.
Number of blue stickers = 1 u
Number of red stickers
= 3 u
= 3 x 20
= 60
(b)
Number of more red stickers than blue stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 20
= 40
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 3 u + 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 20
= 80
(d)
Number of less blue stickers than red stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 20
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 40; (c) 80; (d) 40
