Comparing yellow stickers and blue stickers 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 yellow stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of yellow 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 3 is 30.
Number of blue stickers that Natalie was left with
= 20 u - 6 u
= 14 u
Number of blue stickers that Natalie gave away
= 15 u - 14 u
= 1 u
Fraction of the blue stickers that Natalie gave away =
