Fill in the blanks in units (Eg 3 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
23 of the stickers that Adam has is 4 more than
45 of what Bryan has.
Let
45 of Bryan's stickers be 4 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)
Change fraction into units.
45 of Bryan's stickers → 4 u
15 of Bryan's stickers → 1 u
55 of Bryan's stickers → 5 u
Number of Bryan's stickers = 5 u
(b)
23 of Adam's stickers → 4 u + 4
13 of Adam's stickers → (4 u + 4) ÷ 2 = 2 u + 2
33 of Adam's stickers → 3 x (2 u + 2) = 6 u + 6
Number of Adam's stickers = 6 u + 6
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 5 u + 6 u + 6
= 11 u + 6
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= (6 u + 6) - 5 u
= 6 u - 5 u + 6
= 1 u + 6
Answer(s): (a) 5 u; (b) 6 u + 6; (c) 11 u + 6; (d) 1 u + 6
