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 4 is 4.
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 8 u - 4 u
= 4 u
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan had in the end
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam gives away
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
(d)
3 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Answer(s): (a) 4 ; (b) 6; (c) 3 ; (d) 4
