Fill in the blanks with units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Bryan and Adam have 14 marbles.
Bryan has 4 more marbles than Adam.
- Number of marbles that Bryan has = _____
- Number of marbles that Adam has = _____
- Total number of marbles = _____
- 1 u = _____
Choose the person who has less marbles to be 1 u.
Bryan has 2 more marbles than Adam.
So, Adam has less marbles.
(a)
Number of marbles that Bryan has = 1 u + 4
(b)
Number of marbles that Adam has = 1 u
(c)
Total number of marbles
= 1 u + 4 + 1 u
= 2 u + 4
(d)
Total number of marbles = 14
2 u + 4 = 14
2 u = 14 - 4 = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Answer(s): (a) 1 u + 4; (b) 1 u; (c) 2 u + 4; (d) 5
