6 x 5 = 30 u |
1 x 5 = 5 u |
7 x 5 = 35 u |

After |
4 x 7 = 28 u |
1 x 7 = 7 u |
5 x 7 = 35 u |
(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 36 stickers from Adam to Bryan.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of stickers that Adam gives to Bryan
= 30 u - 28 u
= 2 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan at first
= 30 u - 5 u
= 25 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan in the end
= 28 u - 7 u
= 21 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 30 u - 28 u
= 2 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 7 u - 5 u
= 2 u
Answer(s): (a) 25; (b) 21; (c) 2; (d) 2
