Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
213 of Bryan's stickers is equal to
67 of Adam's stickers
Let
17 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 6 = 6
213 of Bryan's stickers =
67 of Adam's stickers
2 x 3 13 x 3 of Bryan's stickers =
67 of Adam's stickers
639 of Bryan's stickers =
67 of Adam's stickers
Let
17 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
77 of Adam's stickers = 7 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 7 u
(b)
213 of Bryan's sticker =
67 of Adam's stickers = 6 u
113 of Bryan's stickers = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 u
1313 of Bryan's stickers = 3 × 13 = 39 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 39 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 39 u
= 46 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 39 u - 7 u
= 32 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 39; (c) 46; (d) 32
