Adam |
Bryan |
Comparing between Adam and Bryan at first |
2 x 3 = 6 u |
5 x 3 = 15 u |
Before |
3 x 2 = 6 u |
|
Change |
2 x 2 = - 4 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
1 x 2 = 2 u |
19 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
The amount that Adam has at first is repeated.
Amount that Adam has at first = 6 u
Amount that Bryan has at first = 15 u
Difference in the amount between Adam and Bryan at first
= 15 u - 6 u
= 9 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 15 u + 4 u
= 19 u
(c)
Total amount that they have
= 6 u + 15 u
= 21 u
(d)
Difference in the amount that they have in the end
= 19 u - 2 u
= 17 u
17 u = 17
1 u = 17 ÷ 17 = 1
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 19; (c) 21; (d) 1
