710 of Bryan's money is equal to
511 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $50.
- 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.
710 of Bryan's money =
511 of Adam's money
7 x 510 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 711 x 7 of Adam's money
3550 of Bryan's money =
3577 of Adam's money
50 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 50 = 1
Amount that Adam has
= 77 u
= 77 x 1
= $77
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 77 u - 50 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 1
= $27
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 50 u + 77 u
= 127 u
= 127 x 1
= $127
Answer(s): (a) $77; (b) $27; (c) $127
