Adam has 60 stickers.
Adam has 5 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 5 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 = 5 u
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 5 u = 6 u
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Number of red stickers
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
(b)
Number of more red stickers than blue stickers
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 10
= 60
(d)
Number of less blue stickers than red stickers
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 50; (b) 40; (c) 60; (d) 40
