Fill in the blanks in units (Eg 3 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
512 of the stickers that Bryan has is 5 more than
56 of what Adam has.
Let
56 of Adam's stickers be 5 u.
- Number of stickers that Adam has = ___________
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = ___________
- Total number of stickers = ___________
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = ___________
(a)
Change fraction into units.
56 of Adam's stickers → 5 u
16 of Adam's stickers → 1 u
66 of Adam's stickers → 6 u
Number of Adam's stickers = 6 u
(b)
512 of Bryan's stickers → 5 u + 5
112 of Bryan's stickers → (5 u + 5) ÷ 5 = 1 u + 1
1212 of Bryan's stickers → 12 x (1 u + 1) = 12 u + 12
Number of Bryan's stickers = 12 u + 12
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 6 u + 12 u + 12
= 18 u + 12
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= (12 u + 12) - 6 u
= 12 u - 6 u + 12
= 6 u + 12
Answer(s): (a) 6 u; (b) 12 u + 12; (c) 18 u + 12; (d) 6 u + 12
