Comparing green stickers and orange stickers at first |
1x5x1 = 5 u |
1x5x1 = 5 u |
2x5x1 = 10 u |
Before |
5x1 = 5 u |
5 u |
5x2 = 10 u |
Change |
- 3x1 = - 3 u |
- 3 u |
- 2x2 = - 6 u |
After |
2x1 = 2 u |
2 u |
3x2 = 4 u |
After
2x1 =
2 u2 u
3x2 =
4 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 5 is 10.
Number of orange stickers that Zara was left with
= 4 u - 2 u
= 2 u
Number of orange stickers that Zara gave away
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
Fraction of the orange stickers that Zara gave away =
35 Answer(s):
35
