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

Silver |
Gold |
Total |
Comparing silver stickers and gold stickers at first |
1x3x5 = 15 u |
1x3x5 = 15 u |
2x3x5 = 30 u |
Before |
3x5 = 15 u |
15 u |
5x6 = 30 u |
Change |
- 2x5 = - 10 u |
- 8 u |
- 2x6 = - 18 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
7 u |
3x6 = 12 u |
After
1x5 =
5 u7 u
3x6 =
12 uThe number of silver stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of silver 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 5 is 30.
Number of gold stickers that Eva was left with
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
Number of gold stickers that Eva gave away
= 15 u - 7 u
= 8 u
Fraction of the gold stickers that Eva gave away =
815 Answer(s):
815
