Before |
3 x 3 = 9 u |
1 x 3 = 3 u |
4 x 3 = 12 u |
Change |
- 16 |
+ 16 |

After |
2 x 4 = 8 u |
1 x 4 = 4 u |
3 x 4 = 12 u |
(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 16 stickers from Adam to Bryan.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
Number of stickers that Adam gives to Bryan
= 9 u - 8 u
= 1 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan at first
= 9 u - 3 u
= 6 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan in the end
= 8 u - 4 u
= 4 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 9 u - 8 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 4 u - 3 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 4; (c) 1; (d) 1
