25 of her green stickers and some blue stickers. In the end, she was left with
34 of her stickers. What fraction of the blue stickers did Joelle give away?

Comparing green stickers and blue stickers at first |
1x5x2 = 10 u |
1x5x2 = 10 u |
2x5x2 = 20 u |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
10 u |
4x5 = 20 u |
Change |
- 2x2 = - 4 u |
- 1 u |
- 3x5 = - 5 u |
After |
3x2 = 6 u |
9 u |
1x5 = 15 u |
After
3x2 =
6 u9 u
1x5 =
15 uThe number of green stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of green stickers the first the same. LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.
The total number of stickers at first is repeated. Make the total number of stickers at first the same. LCM of 10 and 4 is 20.
Number of blue stickers that Joelle was left with
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
Number of blue stickers that Joelle gave away
= 10 u - 9 u
= 1 u
Fraction of the blue stickers that Joelle gave away =
110 Answer(s):
110
