34 of Adam's money is equal to
12 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $80.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have less than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
34 of Adam's money =
12 of Bryan's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 32 x 3 of Bryan's money
34 of Adam's money =
36 of Bryan's money
4 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 4 = 20
Amount that Bryan has
= 6 u
= 6 x 20
= $120
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 20
= $40
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 20
= $200
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $40; (c) $200
