(a)
Change X times into units.
The difference in the number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have at first and in the end is the same.
LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan had in the end
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam gives away
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
(d)
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Answer(s): (a) 5 ; (b) 7; (c) 4 ; (d) 8
