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

Comparing blue stickers and gold 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 |
- 1 u |
- 3x8 = - 16 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
19 u |
2x8 = 24 u |
After
1x5 =
5 u19 u
2x8 =
24 uThe number of blue stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of blue 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 gold stickers that Natalie was left with
= 24 u - 5 u
= 19 u
Number of gold stickers that Natalie gave away
= 20 u - 19 u
= 1 u
Fraction of the gold stickers that Natalie gave away =
