Question

Katie has 30 stickers. Katie have 2/3 the stickers to her sister. Of the amount left, she gave 2/5 to her friend. How many stickers does Katie have left for herself

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She started with 30.  Then she gave away 2/3 OF that 30.  Of means to multiply.  If we multiply 30(2/3) we get 20.  That means that she gave away 20 to her sister and she still has 10.  Then she gave away 2/5 OF that 10 to her friend.  If we multiply 10(2/5) we get 4.  So 10 - 4 means that she has 6 stickers left.

Answer 2

gave away 2/3, leaving 1/3

1/3 of 30 is 10

2/5 of 10 is 4

so she has 6 left
