Fill in the blanks with units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam and Bryan have 170 marbles.
Adam has 70 more marbles than Bryan.
- Number of marbles that Adam has = _____
- Number of marbles that Bryan has = _____
- Total number of marbles = _____
- 1u = _____
Choose the person who has less marbles to be 1 u.
Adam has 70 more marbles than Bryan.
So, Bryan has less marbles.
(a)
Number of marbles that Adam has = 1 u + 70
(b)
Number of marbles that Bryan has = 1 u
(c)
Total number of marbles
= 1 u + 70 + 1 u
= 2 u + 70
(d)
Total number of marbles = 170
2 u + 70 = 170
2 u = 170 - 70 = 100
1u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Answer(s): (a) 1 u + 70 or 70 + 1 u; (b) 1u; (c) 2 u + 70 or 70 + 2 u; (d) 50
