Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
34 of Adam's stickers is equal to
910 of Bryan's stickers
Let
110 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 3 and 9 = 9
34 of Adam's stickers =
910 of Bryan's stickers
3 x 3 4 x 3 of Adam's stickers =
910 of Bryan's stickers
912 of Adam's stickers =
910 of Bryan's stickers
Let
110 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1010 of Bryan's stickers = 10 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 10 u
(b)
34 of Adam's sticker =
910 of Bryan's stickers = 9 u
14 of Adam's stickers = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 u
44 of Adam's stickers = 3 × 4 = 12 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 12 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 10 u + 12 u
= 22 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 12 u - 10 u
= 2 u
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 12; (c) 22; (d) 2
