Before |
5 x 2 = 10 u |
1 x 2 = 2 u |
6 x 2 = 12 u |
Change |
- 19 |
+ 19 |

After |
3 x 3 = 9 u |
1 x 3 = 3 u |
4 x 3 = 12 u |
(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 19 stickers from Bryan to Adam.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 10 u - 9 u
= 1 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam at first
= 10 u - 2 u
= 8 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam in the end
= 9 u - 3 u
= 6 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 10 u - 9 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 3 u - 2 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 6; (c) 1; (d) 1
