Adam has 170 beads.
Bryan has 10 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
= 170 + 10
= 180
(b)
Number of beads that Adam has more than Bryan
= 170 - 10
= 160
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
= 160 ÷ 2
= 80
(c)
Number of beads that Bryan must get from Adam
= Number of beads that Adam must give to Bryan
= 80
Answer(s): (a) 180; (b) 80; (c) 80
