PSLE At first, Zoe had an equal number of silver and blue stickers . She gave away
34 of her silver stickers and some blue stickers. In the end, she was left with
25 of her stickers. What fraction of the blue stickers did Zoe give away?

Comparing silver stickers and blue stickers at first |
1x4x5 = 20 u |
1x4x5 = 20 u |
2x4x5 = 40 u |
Before |
4x5 = 20 u |
20 u |
5x8 = 40 u |
Change |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
- 9 u |
- 2x8 = - 24 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
11 u |
3x8 = 16 u |
After
1x5 =
5 u11 u
3x8 =
16 uThe number of silver stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of silver stickers the first the same. LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.
The total number of stickers at first is repeated. Make the total number of stickers at first the same. LCM of 8 and 5 is 40.
Number of blue stickers that Zoe was left with
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
Number of blue stickers that Zoe gave away
= 20 u - 11 u
= 9 u
Fraction of the blue stickers that Zoe gave away =
