Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
35 of Adam's stickers is equal to
1213 of Bryan's stickers
Let
113 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 12 = 12
35 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
3 x 4 5 x 4 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
1220 of Adam's stickers =
1213 of Bryan's stickers
Let
113 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1313 of Bryan's stickers = 13 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 13 u
(b)
35 of Adam's sticker =
1213 of Bryan's stickers = 12 u
15 of Adam's stickers = 12 ÷ 3 = 4 u
55 of Adam's stickers = 4 × 5 = 20 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 20 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 20 u
= 33 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 20 u - 13 u
= 7 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 20; (c) 33; (d) 7
