Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
29 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
815 of Adam's stickers
Let
115 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 2 and 8 = 8
29 of Bryan's stickers =
815 of Adam's stickers
2 x 4 9 x 4 of Bryan's stickers =
815 of Adam's stickers
836 of Bryan's stickers =
815 of Adam's stickers
Let
115 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
1515 of Adam's stickers = 15 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 15 u
(b)
29 of Bryan's sticker =
815 of Adam's stickers = 8 u
19 of Bryan's stickers = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 u
99 of Bryan's stickers = 4 × 9 = 36 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 36 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 15 u + 36 u
= 51 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 36 u - 15 u
= 21 u
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) 36; (c) 51; (d) 21
