58 of Adam's money is equal to
14 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $40.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Bryan have more than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
58 of Adam's money =
14 of Bryan's money
5 x 18 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 54 x 5 of Bryan's money
58 of Adam's money =
520 of Bryan's money
8 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 8 = 5
Amount that Bryan has
= 20 u
= 20 x 5
= $100
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 20 u - 8 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 5
= $60
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 8 u + 20 u
= 28 u
= 28 x 5
= $140
Answer(s): (a) $100; (b) $60; (c) $140
