PSLE At first, Raeann had an equal number of black and green marbles . She gave away
35 of her black marbles and some green marbles. In the end, she was left with
23 of her marbles. What fraction of the green marbles did Raeann give away?

Comparing black marbles and green marbles at first |
1x5x3 = 15 u |
1x5x3 = 15 u |
2x5x3 = 30 u |
Before |
5x3 = 15 u |
15 u |
3x10 = 30 u |
Change |
- 3x3 = - 9 u |
- 1 u |
- 2x10 = - 10 u |
After |
2x3 = 6 u |
14 u |
1x10 = 20 u |
After
2x3 =
6 u14 u
1x10 =
20 uThe number of black marbles at first is repeated. Make the number of black marbles the first the same. LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.
The total number of marbles at first is repeated. Make the total number of marbles at first the same. LCM of 10 and 3 is 30.
Number of green marbles that Raeann was left with
= 20 u - 6 u
= 14 u
Number of green marbles that Raeann gave away
= 15 u - 14 u
= 1 u
Fraction of the green marbles that Raeann gave away =
115 Answer(s):
115
