Fill in the blanks.
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
35 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 3 and 6 = 6
35 of Bryan's stickers =
67 of Adam's stickers
3 x 2 5 x 2 of Bryan's stickers =
67 of Adam's stickers
610 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)
35 of Bryan's sticker =
67 of Adam's stickers = 6 u
15 of Bryan's stickers = 6 ÷ 3 = 2 u
55 of Bryan's stickers = 2 × 5 = 10 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 10 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 10 u
= 17 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 10 u - 7 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 10; (c) 17; (d) 3
