67 of Adam's stickers is equal to
1213 of Bryan's stickers
Let
113 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____ u
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____u
- Total number of stickers = _____ u
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = _____u
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 6 and 12 = 12
67 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
6 x 2 7 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
1214 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
Let
113 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1313 of Bryan's stickers = 13 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 13 u
(b)
67 of Adam's sticker =
1213 of Bryan's stickers = 12 u
17 of Adam's stickers = 12 ÷ 6 = 2 u
77 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 7 = 14 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 14 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 14 u
= 27 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 14 u - 13 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 14; (c) 27; (d) 1
