Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
215 of Adam's stickers is equal to
611 of Bryan's stickers
Let
111 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 6 = 6
215 of Adam's stickers =
611 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 3 15 x 3 of Adam's stickers =
611 of Bryan's stickers
645 of Adam's stickers =
611 of Bryan's stickers
Let
111 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
1111 of Bryan's stickers = 11 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 11 u
(b)
215 of Adam's sticker =
611 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u
115 of Adam's stickers = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 u
1515 of Adam's stickers = 3 × 15 = 45 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 45 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 11 u + 45 u
= 56 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 45 u - 11 u
= 34 u
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 45; (c) 56; (d) 34
