Fill in the blanks with units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam and Bryan have 40 beads.
Adam has 10 more beads than Bryan.
- Number of beads that Adam has = _____
- Number of beads that Bryan has = _____
- Total number of beads = _____
- 1u = _____
Choose the person who has less beads to be 1 u.
Adam has 10 more beads than Bryan.
So, Bryan has less beads.
(a)
Number of beads that Adam has = 1 u + 10
(b)
Number of beads that Bryan has = 1 u
(c)
Total number of beads
= 1 u + 10 + 1 u
= 2 u + 10
(d)
Total number of beads = 40
2 u + 10 = 40
2 u = 40 - 10 = 30
1u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Answer(s): (a) 1 u + 10 or 10 + 1 u; (b) 1u; (c) 2 u + 10 or 10 + 2 u; (d) 15
