angel:

Janelle has 14 more sticker albums than May. Trinity has five times as many sticker albums as May. If they have a total of 497 sticker albums, how many sticker albums does Janelle have?



One more:

There are 96 more paper clips in Box A than in Box B. How many paper clips must be transferred from Box A to Box B so that there are 48 more paperclips in Box A than in Box B?

Janelle-|__|14|.................)
May-----|__|......................} Total 497
Trinity--|__|__|__|__|__|...)

497 - 14 = 483

7u --> 483

1u --> 69

69 + 14 = 83

Janelle has 83 sticker albums.

96 - 48 = 48

48 / 2 = 24

24 paperclips must be transferred from box A to B.

Garfieldpal:

96 - 48 = 48

48 / 2 = 24

24 paperclips must be transferred from box A to B.

Why divide by 2?

Can explain with model?

Mr Nicholas stored his chocolates in 2 jars, which he labelled as Jar A and Jar B. Jar A had 88 more chocolates than Jar B. Mr Nicholas transferred some chocolates from Jar B to Jar A. After the transfer, Jar A now had 112 more chocolates than Jar B. How many chocolates did Mr Nicholas transfer from Jar B to Jar A?


1)6
2)12
3)18

Hi Tianzhu,

can you show me your workings?

I am also stuck with the previous questions. Can you help explain to me?

Thank you so much.

At first Jar A : 88 more

End Jar A : 112 more
So the diffrence has increased by 112 - 88 = 24

If transfer 1 from B to A ; B will become 1 less and A will become 1 more ; the difference has increased by 2.

So transfer 12 from B to A ; B will become 12 less and A will become 12 more ; the difference has increased by 12.

In short, 24 needs to be divided by 2.

Can anyone help and explain using model? Thanks.

Hi Tianzhu,


I got it now. Thank you very much.
I have one more question which I need you to explain your answer. Can you help me?

How many eights are there altogether in the product of 222 and 4?
1)3
2)8
3)111
4)888

Thank you so much for your kind help.

[PapayaDad]

Product of 222 and 4 = 222 x 4 = 888


How many 8s are there means 888 / 8 = 111

hope it helps…
