Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
23 of Adam's stickers is equal to
67 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 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
23 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
2 x 3 3 x 3 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
69 of Adam's stickers =
67 of Bryan's stickers
Let
17 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
77 of Bryan's stickers = 7 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 7 u
(b)
23 of Adam's sticker =
67 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u
13 of Adam's stickers = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 u
33 of Adam's stickers = 3 × 3 = 9 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 9 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 7 u + 9 u
= 16 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 9 u - 7 u
= 2 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 9; (c) 16; (d) 2
