Benson and Calvin won a total of 48 stickers in a game. Benson won 12 more stickers than Calvin. Express Calvin’s stickers as a fraction of Benson’s stickers.

Answer 1

b + c = 48
b = c + 12
so
c + 12 + c = 48
2 c = 36
etc

Answer 2

48 - 12 = 36 stickers
36/2 = 18 stickers

Calvin stickers = 18
Benson = 18 + 12 = 30 stickers

Express Calvin stickers |as a fraction of/means over| Benson stickers

Calvin stickers/Benson stickers = 18/30 = 3/5
