- 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 8 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
= 8 u
= 8 x 20
= 160
(b)
Number of more red stickers than blue stickers
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 20
= 140
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 8 u + 1 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 20
= 180
(d)
Number of less blue stickers than red stickers
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 20
= 140
Answer(s): (a) 160; (b) 140; (c) 180; (d) 140
