Fill in the blanks.
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
37 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 3 and 6 = 6
37 of Adam's stickers =
611 of Bryan's stickers
3 x 2 7 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
611 of Bryan's stickers
614 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)
37 of Adam's sticker =
611 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u
17 of Adam's stickers = 6 ÷ 3 = 2 u
77 of Adam's stickers = 2 × 7 = 14 u
Number of stickers that Adam has = 14 u
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 11 u + 14 u
= 25 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 14 u - 11 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 14; (c) 25; (d) 3
