Fill in the blanks in units (Eg 3 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
23 of the stickers Bryan has is 16 less than
89 of what Adam has.
Let
89 of Adam's stickers be 8 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.
89 of Adam's stickers → 8 u
19 of Adam's stickers → 1 u
99 of Adam's stickers → 9 u
Number of Adam's stickers = 9 u
(b)
23 of Bryan's stickers → 8 u - 16
13 of Bryan's stickers → (8 u - 16) ÷ 2 = 4 u - 8
33 of Bryan's stickers → 3 x (4 u - 8) = 12 u - 24
Number of Bryan's stickers = 12 u - 24
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 12 u - 24
= 21 u - 24
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= (12 u - 24) - 9 u
= 12 u - 9 u - 24
= 3 u - 24
Answer(s): (a) 9 u; (b) 12 u - 24; (c) 21 u - 24; (d) 3 u - 24
