Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
29 of Adam's stickers is equal to
89 of Bryan's stickers
Let
19 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 2 and 8 = 8
29 of Adam's stickers =
89 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 4 9 x 4 of Adam's stickers =
89 of Bryan's stickers
836 of Adam's stickers =
89 of Bryan's stickers
Let
19 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
99 of Bryan's stickers = 9 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 9 u
(b)
29 of Adam's sticker =
89 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u
19 of Adam's stickers = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 u
99 of Adam's stickers = 4 × 9 = 36 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 36 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 36 u
= 45 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 36 u - 9 u
= 27 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 36; (c) 45; (d) 27
