314 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
913 of Adam's stickers
Let
113 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____u
- Total number of stickers = _____ u
- Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan = _____u
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 3 and 9 = 9
314 of Bryan's stickers =
913 of Adam's stickers
3 x 3 14 x 3 of Bryan's stickers =
913 of Adam's stickers
942 of Bryan's stickers =
913 of Adam's stickers
Let
113 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
1313 of Adam's stickers = 13 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 13 u
(b)
314 of Bryan's sticker =
913 of Adam's stickers = 9 u
114 of Bryan's stickers = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 u
1414 of Bryan's stickers = 3 × 14 = 42 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 42 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 42 u
= 55 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 42 u - 13 u
= 29 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 42; (c) 55; (d) 29
