Adam has 40 less blue stickers than green stickers.
Adam has 6 times as many green stickers as blue stickers.
- Number of green stickers
- Number of blue stickers
- Total number of stickers
- Number of less blue stickers than green stickers
(a)
The number of green stickers is 6 times the number of blue stickers.
The number of blue stickers is the smaller group.
Number of blue stickers = 1 u
Number of green stickers = 6 u
Number of less blue stickers than green stickers = 6 u - 1 u = 5 u
5 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Number of green stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 8
= 48
(b)
Number of blue stickers
= 1 u
= 8
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 8
= 56
(d)
Number of less blue stickers than green stickers
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 48; (b) 8; (c) 56; (d) 40
