34 of Bryan's money is equal to
13 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $40.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Bryan have less than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
34 of Bryan's money =
13 of Adam's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 33 x 3 of Adam's money
34 of Bryan's money =
39 of Adam's money
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Amount that Adam has
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= $90
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= $50
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 9 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $90; (b) $50; (c) $130
