Adam has 10 more blue stickers than green stickers.
Adam has 6 times as many blue stickers as green stickers.
- Number of blue stickers
- Number of green stickers
- Total number of stickers
- Number of less green stickers than blue stickers
(a)
The number of blue stickers is 6 times the number of green stickers.
The number of green stickers is the smaller group.
Number of green stickers = 1 u
Number of blue stickers = 6 u
Number of more blue stickers than green stickers = 6 u - 1 u = 5 u
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Number of blue stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 2
= 12
(b)
Number of green stickers
= 1 u
= 2
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 2
= 14
(d)
Number of less green stickers than blue stickers
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= 10
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 2; (c) 14; (d) 10
