34 The number of green stickers is the repeated identity.
Make the number of green stickers the same using the LCM of 2 and 3.
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
(a) Number of red stickers = 6 u
(b) Number of blue stickers = 8 u
(c) Total number of stickers = 3 u + 6 u + 8 u = 17 u
(d) Number of less green stickers than red stickers = 6 u - 3 u = 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 8; (c) 17; (d) 3
