Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
211 of Adam's stickers is equal to
47 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 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
211 of Adam's stickers =
47 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 2 11 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
47 of Bryan's stickers
422 of Adam's stickers =
47 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
77 of Bryan's stickers = 7 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 7 u
(b)
211 of Adam's sticker =
47 of Bryan's stickers = 4 u
111 of Adam's stickers = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 u
1111 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 11 = 22 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 22 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 22 u
= 29 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 22 u - 7 u
= 15 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 22; (c) 29; (d) 15
