10 x 4 = 40 u |
1 x 4 = 4 u |
11 x 4 = 44 u |

(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 119 stickers from Adam to Bryan.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 11 and 4 is 44.
Number of stickers that Adam gives to Bryan
= 40 u - 33 u
= 7 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan at first
= 40 u - 4 u
= 36 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan in the end
= 33 u - 11 u
= 22 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 40 u - 33 u
= 7 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 11 u - 4 u
= 7 u
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) 22; (c) 7; (d) 7
