56 of Bryan's money is equal to
14 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $30.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Adam have more than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
56 of Bryan's money =
14 of Adam's money
5 x 16 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 54 x 5 of Adam's money
56 of Bryan's money =
520 of Adam's money
6 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 20 u
= 20 x 5
= $100
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 20 u - 6 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 5
= $70
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 6 u + 20 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 5
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $100; (b) $70; (c) $130
