PSLE At first, Opal had an equal number of yellow and gold stickers . She gave away
23 of her yellow stickers and some gold stickers. In the end, she was left with
14 of her stickers. What fraction of the gold stickers did Opal give away?

Yellow |
Gold |
Total |
Comparing yellow stickers and gold stickers at first |
1x3x2 = 6 u |
1x3x2 = 6 u |
2x3x2 = 12 u |
Before |
3x2 = 6 u |
6 u |
4x3 = 12 u |
Change |
- 2x2 = - 4 u |
- 5 u |
- 1x3 = - 9 u |
After |
1x2 = 2 u |
1 u |
3x3 = 3 u |
After
1x2 =
2 u1 u
3x3 =
3 uThe number of yellow stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of yellow stickers the first the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
The total number of stickers at first is repeated. Make the total number of stickers at first the same. LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
Number of gold stickers that Opal was left with
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
Number of gold stickers that Opal gave away
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
Fraction of the gold stickers that Opal gave away =
