Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
23 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
1011 of Adam's stickers
Let
111 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
23 of Bryan's stickers =
1011 of Adam's stickers
2 x 5 3 x 5 of Bryan's stickers =
1011 of Adam's stickers
1015 of Bryan's stickers =
1011 of Adam's stickers
Let
111 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
1111 of Adam's stickers = 11 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 11 u
(b)
23 of Bryan's sticker =
1011 of Adam's stickers = 10 u
13 of Bryan's stickers = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 u
33 of Bryan's stickers = 5 × 3 = 15 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 15 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 11 u + 15 u
= 26 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 15 u - 11 u
= 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 15; (c) 26; (d) 4
