(a)
Change X times into units.
The difference in the number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have at first and in the end is the same.
LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam had in the end
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan gives away
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
(d)
2 u = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Answer(s): (a) 3 ; (b) 5; (c) 2 ; (d) 2
