Difference between the number of paper cranes that Julie and Joelle folded in the end is repeated.
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Julie and Joelle folded in the end
= 5 p - 3 p
= 2 p
Difference between the number of paper cranes that Julie and Joelle folded in the end
= (1 u + 47) - (1 u + 19)
= 1 u + 47 - 1 u - 19
= 47 - 19
= 28
2 p = 28
1 p = 28 ÷ 2 = 14
Number of paper cranes that Joelle folded
= 3 p
= 3 x 14
= 42
Answer(s): 42
