Pauline has 502 beads. There are 185 red beads. The rest are green beads. How money green beads are there. Draw a model to help you.

Answer 1

To determine how many green beads Pauline has, we start with the total number of beads and subtract the number of red beads from it.

1. Total number of beads: 502
2. Number of red beads: 185

To find the number of green beads, we perform the following calculation:

\[ \text{Number of green beads} = \text{Total beads} - \text{Red beads} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Number of green beads} = 502 - 185 \]

Now, calculate it:

\[ 502 - 185 = 317 \]

So, Pauline has 317 green beads.

Model Representation

You can visualize this with a simple model:

[ Red Beads: 185 ] + [ Green Beads: 317 ] = [ Total Beads: 502 ]

In a more graphical representation:

--------------------------------------------------
|                     Total Beads                 |
|         |-----------------------|                 |
|         |       185 (Red)      |                 |
|         |                       |                 |
|         |       317 (Green)    |                 |
|         |                       |                 |
--------------------------------------------------

This model shows that out of the total of 502 beads, 185 are red and 317 are green.
