Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
23 of Adam's stickers is equal to
45 of Bryan's stickers
Let
15 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 4 = 4
23 of Adam's stickers =
45 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 2 3 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
45 of Bryan's stickers
46 of Adam's stickers =
45 of Bryan's stickers
Let
15 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
55 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 5 u
(b)
23 of Adam's sticker =
45 of Bryan's stickers = 4 u
13 of Adam's stickers = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 u
33 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 3 = 6 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 6 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 5 u + 6 u
= 11 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 6; (c) 11; (d) 1
