Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
34 of Adam's stickers is equal to
67 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 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 6 = 6
34 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
3 x 2 4 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
68 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
77 of Bryan's stickers = 7 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 7 u
(b)
34 of Adam's sticker =
67 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u
14 of Adam's stickers = 6 ÷ 3 = 2 u
44 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 4 = 8 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 8 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 8 u
= 15 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 8 u - 7 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 8; (c) 15; (d) 1
