Fill in the blanks.
For (a) to (d), give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
13 of Bryan's stickers is 10 less than
15 of Adam's stickers.
Let
13 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____
- Total number of stickers = _____
- Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan = _____
(a)
13 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u
33 of Bryan's stickers = 3 u
(b)
15 of Adam's stickers =
13 of Bryan's stickers + 10
15 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 10
55 of Adam's stickers = 5(1 u + 10) = 5 u + 50
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 3 u + 5 u + 50
= 8 u + 50
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 5 u + 50 - 3 u
= 5 u - 3 u + 50
= 2 u + 50
Answer(s): (a) 3 u; (b) 5 u + 50; (c) 8 u + 50; (d) 2 u + 50
