Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
34 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
911 of Adam's stickers
Let
111 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 3 and 9 = 9
34 of Bryan's stickers =
911 of Adam's stickers
3 x 3 4 x 3 of Bryan's stickers =
911 of Adam's stickers
912 of Bryan's stickers =
911 of Adam's stickers
Let
111 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
1111 of Adam's stickers = 11 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 11 u
(b)
34 of Bryan's sticker =
911 of Adam's stickers = 9 u
14 of Bryan's stickers = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 u
44 of Bryan's stickers = 3 × 4 = 12 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 12 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 11 u + 12 u
= 23 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 12 u - 11 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 12; (c) 23; (d) 1
