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

Total |
Comparing blue stickers and green 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 blue stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of blue 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 green stickers that Yoko was left with
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
Number of green stickers that Yoko gave away
= 15 u - 7 u
= 8 u
Fraction of the green stickers that Yoko gave away =
815 Answer(s):
815
