Difference between the number of paper cranes that Fiona and Abi folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Fiona and Abi folded in the end
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Fiona and Abi folded in the end
= (1 u + 69) - (1 u + 21)
= 1 u + 69 - 1 u - 21
= 69 - 21
= 48
4 p = 48
1 p = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Number of paper cranes that Fiona folded
= 7 p
= 7 x 12
= 84
Answer(s): 84
