Question

Some fridge magnets are put in a bag. 36 are small and the rest are large.

Some are red and the rest are white. The number of large is the number of small. There are 5 times as many white than red. There are 8 large red magnets.
Work out how many small white magnets are in the bag.
​

Answer 1

20 small white magnets.

double the small than large, so 8 large red=16 small red. and we know there are 36 total smalls so the white smalls would have to add up to 20 (36-16=20)

hope this helped!!
