Fill in the blanks.
The ratio of Adam's stickers to Bryan's stickers is 2 : 3.
After Adam gives 55 stickers away,
The ratio of Adam's stickers to Bryan's stickers becomes 1 : 4.
- Whose number of stickers has not 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 = _____
|
Adam |
Bryan |
Before |
2 x 4 = 8 u |
3 x 4 = 12 u |
Change |
- 55 |
|
After |
1 x 3 = 3 u |
4 x 3 = 12 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
The number of stickers that Bryan (2) has remains unchanged.
(b)
LCM of 3 and 4 = 12
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 12 u
(c)
Change in the number of stickers that Adam has
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
(d)
Number of stickers that Adam gives away = 55
5 u = 55
1 u = 55 ÷ 5 = 11
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 12; (c) 5; (d) 11
