Before |
5 x 5 = 25 u |
1 x 5 = 5 u |
6 x 5 = 30 u |
Change |
- 11 |
+ 11 |

After |
4 x 6 = 24 u |
1 x 6 = 6 u |
5 x 6 = 30 u |
(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 11 stickers from Bryan to Adam.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 25 u - 24 u
= 1 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam at first
= 25 u - 5 u
= 20 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam in the end
= 24 u - 6 u
= 18 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 25 u - 24 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 18; (c) 1; (d) 1
