Fill in the blanks in units (Eg 3 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
25 of the stickers Adam has is 6 less than
89 of what Bryan has.
Let
89 of Bryan's stickers be 8 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.
89 of Bryan's stickers → 8 u
19 of Bryan's stickers → 1 u
99 of Bryan's stickers → 9 u
Number of Bryan's stickers = 9 u
(b)
25 of Adam's stickers → 8 u - 6
15 of Adam's stickers → (8 u - 6) ÷ 2 = 4 u - 3
55 of Adam's stickers → 5 x (4 u - 3) = 20 u - 15
Number of Adam's stickers = 20 u - 15
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 9 u + 20 u - 15
= 29 u - 15
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= (20 u - 15) - 9 u
= 20 u - 9 u - 15
= 11 u - 15
Answer(s): (a) 9 u; (b) 20 u - 15; (c) 29 u - 15; (d) 11 u - 15
