Question 15b

"They each used 150 beads to make bracelets."

ms loh used → 150 beads mrs tay used → 150 beads

"Ms Loh had used 3/5 of her beads while"

3p → 150 1p → 150 ÷ 3 = 50 5p (ms loh total) → 5 x 50 = 250

"Mrs Tay had used 1/3 of her beads for the bracelets."

1u → 150 3u (mrs tay total) → 150 x 3 = 450

total shared → 250 + 450 = 700

4/5 beads → 700 1/5 beads → 700 ÷ 4 = 175 5/5 beads → 700 + 175 = 875
