Question

Bo has 144 stickers on a page. He gives 2/9 of the stickers to his sister. He gives 16 stickers to his friend. How many does Bo have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

96 Stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Bo has 144 stickers on a page.

• 2/9 of the stickers to his sister.

• He gives 16 stickers to his friend.

What do we need to find:

• How many does Bo have left?

First, lets find out how many stickers did Bo give to her sister.

144 × 2/9 = a                                 [a = Number of stickers given to Bo's sister.]

=> a = 32

So now, we know how many stickers did Bo gave to her sister. Now lets find how many were left when Bo gave 16 to his friend by using equation.

144 - (32 + 16) = b                                                    [b = Number of stickers left.]

=> b = 96 stickers

Therefore, Bo has 96 stickers left.

Hoped this helped. If possible, may I have brainliest :)

Answer 2

Answer:

127 7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

144 - 2/9

144/1 - 2/9

(144×9)−(2×1)/1×9

1296-2/9

1294/9

= 143 7/9

143 7/9 - 16

= 127 7/9
