Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
25 of Adam's stickers is equal to
49 of Bryan's stickers
Let
19 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
25 of Adam's stickers =
49 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 2 5 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
49 of Bryan's stickers
410 of Adam's stickers =
49 of Bryan's stickers
Let
19 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
99 of Bryan's stickers = 9 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 9 u
(b)
25 of Adam's sticker =
49 of Bryan's stickers = 4 u
15 of Adam's stickers = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 u
55 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 5 = 10 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 10 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 10 u
= 19 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 10 u - 9 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 10; (c) 19; (d) 1
