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

Comparing silver stickers and pink 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 |
- 2 u |
- 3x6 = - 12 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
13 u |
2x6 = 18 u |
After
1x5 =
5 u13 u
2x6 =
18 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 pink stickers that Kimberly was left with
= 18 u - 5 u
= 13 u
Number of pink stickers that Kimberly gave away
= 15 u - 13 u
= 2 u
Fraction of the pink stickers that Kimberly gave away =
