  2. Guess and Check(3 guesses + Look for pattern)

  3. String of 2 big balloons is 90cm. String of 5 small balloons is 1.2m. If both strings are of the same length, there would be 105 more small balloons than the big balloons. How many balloons are there altogether? 2009 PSLE question Big (90/2=45cm)
