Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
25 of Adam's stickers is equal to
89 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 8 = 8
25 of Adam's stickers =
89 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 4 5 x 4 of Adam's stickers =
89 of Bryan's stickers
820 of Adam's stickers =
89 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 =
89 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u
15 of Adam's stickers = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 u
55 of Adam's stickers = 4 × 5 = 20 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 20 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 20 u
= 29 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 20 u - 9 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 20; (c) 29; (d) 11
