- How many green stickers and blue stickers does Adam have in the end?

1 × 6 = 6 u |
1 × 6 = 6 u |
(a)
The number of blue stickers Adam has at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Make the number of blue stickers the same using the LCM of 1 and 6.
LCM of 1 and 6 = 6
Number of green stickers that Adam buys
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
Number of more blue stickers than green stickers at first
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 18
= 90
(b)
Number of green stickers and blue stickers in the end
= 6 u + 6 u
= 12 u
= 12 × 18
= 216
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) 216
