Adam |
Bryan |
Comparing between Adam and Bryan at first |
3 x 2 = 6 u |
4 x 2 = 8 u |
Before |
2 x 3 = 6 u |
|
Change |
1 x 3 = - 3 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
1 x 3 = 3 u |
11 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 = 8 u
Difference in the amount between Adam and Bryan at first
= 8 u - 6 u
= 2 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 8 u + 3 u
= 11 u
(c)
Total amount that they have
= 6 u + 8 u
= 14 u
(d)
Difference in the amount that they have in the end
= 11 u - 3 u
= 8 u
8 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 8 = 1
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 11; (c) 14; (d) 1
