Bryan has 180 beads.
Adam has 10 beads.
- What is the sum of beads?
- How many beads must Bryan give to Adam so both have the same number of beads?
- How many beads must Adam get from Bryan so both have the same number of beads?
(a)
Total sum of beads
= 180 + 10
= 190
(b)
Number of beads that Bryan has more than Adam
= 180 - 10
= 170
For both Bryan and Adam to have the same number of beads, the extra beads must be shared equally.
Number of beads that Bryan must give to Adam
= 170 ÷ 2
= 85
(c)
Number of beads that Adam must get from Bryan
= Number of beads that Bryan must give to Adam
= 85
Answer(s): (a) 190; (b) 85; (c) 85
