Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
25 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 2 and 6 = 6
25 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 3 5 x 3 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
615 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)
25 of Adam's sticker =
67 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u
15 of Adam's stickers = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 u
55 of Adam's stickers = 3 × 5 = 15 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 15 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 15 u
= 22 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 15 u - 7 u
= 8 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 15; (c) 22; (d) 8
