Fraction of the beads left after giving to Ken
= 1 -
58 =
38 Fraction of the remaining beads left after giving to Dana
= 1 -
45 =
15
Fraction of the beads left after giving to Ken and Dana
= 38 x 15
= 340
Total number of beads = 40 u
40 u = 560
1 u = 560 ÷ 40 = 14
Number of beads left
= 3 u
= 3 x 14
= 42
