Fill in the blanks in units (Eg 3 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
29 of the stickers Bryan has is 24 less than
49 of what Adam has.
Let
49 of Adam's stickers be 4 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.
49 of Adam's stickers → 4 u
19 of Adam's stickers → 1 u
99 of Adam's stickers → 9 u
Number of Adam's stickers = 9 u
(b)
29 of Bryan's stickers → 4 u - 24
19 of Bryan's stickers → (4 u - 24) ÷ 2 = 2 u - 12
99 of Bryan's stickers → 9 x (2 u - 12) = 18 u - 108
Number of Bryan's stickers = 18 u - 108
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 18 u - 108
= 27 u - 108
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= (18 u - 108) - 9 u
= 18 u - 9 u - 108
= 9 u - 108
Answer(s): (a) 9 u; (b) 18 u - 108; (c) 27 u - 108; (d) 9 u - 108
