I bought a small bag of candy hearts. I opened the
bag and counted 8 pink hearts, 10 white hearts, 4 red hearts, and 12 purple
hearts. I needed more candy hearts, so I bought a large bag that was
triple the size. How many candy hearts of each color are there?
(Assume that the large bag has the same portion of each color as the small bag)
Show your work.
For 4th and 5th graders: If the small bag weighed 6 oz. and the large bag was 21 oz., how many candy hearts of each color are in the large bag?
