PSLE At first, Shannon had an equal number of green and silver stickers . She gave away
45 of her green stickers and some silver stickers. In the end, she was left with
14 of her stickers. What fraction of the silver stickers was Shannon left with?
|
Green |
Silver |
Total |
Comparing green stickers and silver stickers at first |
1x5x2 = 10 u |
1x5x2 = 10 u |
2x5x2 = 20 u |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
10 u |
4x5 = 20 u |
Change |
- 4x2 = - 8 u |
- 7 u |
- 1x5 = - 15 u |
After |
1x2 = 2 u |
3 u |
3x5 = 5 u |
The 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 4 is 20.
Number of silver stickers that Shannon was left with
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
Fraction of the silver stickers that Shannon was left with =
