Fiona has 3 times as many beads as Shiyun. Shiyun has
35 as many beads as Roshel. If the three of them have a total of 136 beads, how many beads does Roshel have?
| Fiona |
Shiyun |
Roshel |
| 3x3 |
1x3 |
|
| |
3x1 |
5x1 |
| 9 u |
3 u |
5 u |
The number of beads that Shiyun has is repeated. Make the number of beads that Shiyun has the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Total number of beads that the three of them have
= 9 u + 3 u + 5 u
= 17 u
17 u = 136
1 u = 136 ÷ 17 = 8
Number of beads that Roshel has
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= 40
Answer(s): 40
