Adam |
Bryan |
Comparing between Adam and Bryan at first |
2 x 7 = 14 u |
3 x 7 = 21 u |
Before |
7 x 2 = 14 u |
|
Change |
2 x 2 = - 4 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
5 x 2 = 10 u |
25 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
The amount that Adam has at first is repeated.
Amount that Adam has at first = 14 u
Amount that Bryan has at first = 21 u
Difference in the amount between Adam and Bryan at first
= 21 u - 14 u
= 7 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 21 u + 4 u
= 25 u
(c)
Total amount that they have
= 14 u + 21 u
= 35 u
(d)
Difference in the amount that they have in the end
= 25 u - 10 u
= 15 u
15 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 15 = 3
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 25; (c) 35; (d) 3
