Adam has 50 stickers.
Adam has 4 times as many red stickers as blue stickers.
- Number of red stickers = _____
- 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 4 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 = 4 u
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 4 u = 5 u
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Number of red stickers
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
(b)
Number of more red stickers than blue stickers
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
(d)
Number of less blue stickers than red stickers
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 30; (c) 50; (d) 30
