12 The number of green stickers is the repeated identity.
Make the number of green stickers the same using the LCM of 4 and 1.
LCM of 4 and 1 = 4
(a) Number of blue stickers = 4 u
(b) Number of red stickers = 8 u
(c) Total number of stickers = 3 u + 4 u + 8 u = 15 u
(d) Number of more red stickers than blue stickers = 8 u - 4 u = 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 8; (c) 15; (d) 4
