Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
211 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
1013 of Adam's stickers
Let
113 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____u
- Total number of stickers = _____ u
- Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan = _____u
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 2 and 10 = 10
211 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 of Adam's stickers
2 x 5 11 x 5 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 of Adam's stickers
1055 of Bryan's stickers =
1013 of Adam's stickers
Let
113 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
1313 of Adam's stickers = 13 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 13 u
(b)
211 of Bryan's sticker =
1013 of Adam's stickers = 10 u
111 of Bryan's stickers = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 u
1111 of Bryan's stickers = 5 × 11 = 55 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 55 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 13 u + 55 u
= 68 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 55 u - 13 u
= 42 u
Answer(s): (a) 13; (b) 55; (c) 68; (d) 42
