Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
314 of Adam's stickers is equal to
914 of Bryan's stickers
Let
114 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 9 = 9
314 of Adam's stickers =
914 of Bryan's stickers
3 x 3 14 x 3 of Adam's stickers =
914 of Bryan's stickers
942 of Adam's stickers =
914 of Bryan's stickers
Let
114 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1414 of Bryan's stickers = 14 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 14 u
(b)
314 of Adam's sticker =
914 of Bryan's stickers = 9 u
114 of Adam's stickers = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 u
1414 of Adam's stickers = 3 × 14 = 42 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 42 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 14 u + 42 u
= 56 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 42 u - 14 u
= 28 u
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 42; (c) 56; (d) 28
