Adam has 100 beads.
Bryan has 60 beads.
- What is the sum of beads?
- How many beads must Adam give to Bryan so both have the same number of beads?
- How many beads must Bryan get from Adam so both have the same number of beads?
(a)
Total sum of beads
= 100 + 60
= 160
(b)
Number of beads that Adam has more than Bryan
= 100 - 60
= 40
For both Adam and Bryan to have the same number of beads, the extra beads must be shared equally.
Number of beads that Adam must give to Bryan
= 40 ÷ 2
= 20
(c)
Number of beads that Bryan must get from Adam
= Number of beads that Adam must give to Bryan
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 160; (b) 20; (c) 20
