Joelle has 4 times as many beads as Shannon. Shannon has
25 as many beads as Tiffany. If the three of them have a total of 60 beads, how many beads does Tiffany have?
| Joelle |
Shannon |
Tiffany |
| 4x2 |
1x2 |
|
| |
2x1 |
5x1 |
| 8 u |
2 u |
5 u |
The number of beads that Shannon has is repeated. Make the number of beads that Shannon has the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of beads that the three of them have
= 8 u + 2 u + 5 u
= 15 u
15 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 15 = 4
Number of beads that Tiffany has
= 5 u
= 5 x 4
= 20
Answer(s): 20
