Kimberly has 5 times as many puffs as Olivia. The total number of Kimberly's and Olivia's puffs is 3 times of Risa's. Kimberly and Olivia have 32 puffs more than Risa's. How many more puffs does Kimberly have than Olivia?
| Kimberly |
Olivia |
Risa |
| 5x1 |
1x1 |
|
| 3x2 |
1x2 |
| 5 u |
1 u |
2 u |
The total number of puffs that Kimberly and Olivia have is repeated. Make the total number of puffs that Kimberly and Olivia have the same. LCM of 6 and 3 is 6.
Total number of puffs that Kimberly and Olivia have
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
Number of more puffs that Kimberly and Olivia have than Risa
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Number of more puffs that Kimberly has than Olivia
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
Answer(s): 32
