Kylie has 4 times as many beads as Penelope. Penelope has
58 as many beads as Ivory. If the three of them have a total of 132 beads, how many beads does Ivory have?
| Kylie |
Penelope |
Ivory |
| 4x5 |
1x5 |
|
| |
5x1 |
8x1 |
| 20 u |
5 u |
8 u |
The number of beads that Penelope has is repeated. Make the number of beads that Penelope has the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Total number of beads that the three of them have
= 20 u + 5 u + 8 u
= 33 u
33 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 33 = 4
Number of beads that Ivory has
= 8 u
= 8 x 4
= 32
Answer(s): 32
