Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
213 of Adam's stickers is equal to
815 of Bryan's stickers
Let
115 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 8 = 8
213 of Adam's stickers =
815 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 4 13 x 4 of Adam's stickers =
815 of Bryan's stickers
852 of Adam's stickers =
815 of Bryan's stickers
Let
115 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1515 of Bryan's stickers = 15 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 15 u
(b)
213 of Adam's sticker =
815 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u
113 of Adam's stickers = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 u
1313 of Adam's stickers = 4 × 13 = 52 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 52 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 15 u + 52 u
= 67 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 52 u - 15 u
= 37 u
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) 52; (c) 67; (d) 37
