613 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
1213 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 6 and 12 = 12
613 of Bryan's stickers =
1213 of Adam's stickers
6 x 2 13 x 2 of Bryan's stickers =
1213 of Adam's stickers
1226 of Bryan's stickers =
1213 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)
613 of Bryan's sticker =
1213 of Adam's stickers = 12 u
113 of Bryan's stickers = 12 ÷ 6 = 2 u
1313 of Bryan's stickers = 2 × 13 = 26 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 26 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 26 u
= 39 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 26 u - 13 u
= 13 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 26; (c) 39; (d) 13
