Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
56 of Adam's stickers is equal to
1011 of Bryan's stickers
Let
111 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 5 and 10 = 10
56 of Adam's stickers =
1011 of Bryan's stickers
5 x 2 6 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
1011 of Bryan's stickers
1012 of Adam's stickers =
1011 of Bryan's stickers
Let
111 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1111 of Bryan's stickers = 11 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 11 u
(b)
56 of Adam's sticker =
1011 of Bryan's stickers = 10 u
16 of Adam's stickers = 10 ÷ 5 = 2 u
66 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 6 = 12 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 12 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 11 u + 12 u
= 23 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 12 u - 11 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 12; (c) 23; (d) 1
