Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
29 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
1013 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 2 and 10 = 10
29 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 of Adam's stickers
2 x 5 9 x 5 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 of Adam's stickers
1045 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 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)
29 of Bryan's sticker =
1013 of Adam's stickers = 10 u
19 of Bryan's stickers = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 u
99 of Bryan's stickers = 5 × 9 = 45 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 45 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 45 u
= 58 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 45 u - 13 u
= 32 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 45; (c) 58; (d) 32
