Is the fourth included in those that fell on the floor? Was there a fifth pearl?
If the first answer is no and the second yes, the other half of the pearls = 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6

When it says fourth and fifth, it refers to fraction, not whole numbers. So the formula is 3+ 1/6x +1/5x + 1/2x
and the answer is 30 which is calculated by figuring the LCM
