After Adam gives 50 stickers away,
The ratio of Bryan's stickers to Adam's stickers becomes 9 : 5.
- Whose number of stickers has changed? Give the answer in number. (Eg Adam = 1; Bryan = 2)
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____ u
- Change in the number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- 1 u = _____
|
Bryan |
Adam |
Before |
8 x 9 = 72 u |
5 x 9 = 45 u |
Change |
|
- 50 |
After |
9 x 8 = 72 u |
5 x 8 = 40 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
The number of stickers that Adam (1) has remains unchanged.
(b)
LCM of 8 and 9 = 72
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 72 u
(c)
Change in the number of stickers that Adam has
= 45 u - 40 u
= 5 u
(d)
Number of stickers that Adam gives away = 50
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Answer(s): (a) 1; (b) 72; (c) 5; (d) 10
