Can someone show me how to solve the following question using the model.

Mrs Lee bought 35 blue and red hair clips. She then packed them equally into 5 packets. If there are 3 more pink clips than blue clips in each packet, how many blue clips are there in each packet?

Thanks

First, each packet will have 35/5 = 7 clips.

Now draw model, draw 1 unit block to represent blue clips, and then the same unit block with another block of 3 clips to represent pink clips.

As total is 7 clips, so the 2 unit block will be 7 - 3 = 4 clips.

Finally, 1 unit block = 4/2 = 2 clips.

Ans: 2 blue clips in each packet.

Hi,

F+E=156
E+G=204
G+F=248

2(E+F+G)=608
E+F+G= 304

Difference between Fiona and Gregory =204 - 156 = 48
248 - 48= 200
200/2 = 100 (Fiona)
156 - 100 = 56 (Elaine)
204 - 56 = 148 (Gregory)
Total = 100 + 56 + 148 = 304

Because Elaine is the constant one… So any difference must be the difference betweeen Fiona and Gregory.

Thus 48 simply shows that Gregory has 48 bookmarks more than Fiona.
