58 of Bryan's money is equal to
13 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $40.
- 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.
58 of Bryan's money =
13 of Adam's money
5 x 18 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 53 x 5 of Adam's money
58 of Bryan's money =
515 of Adam's money
8 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 8 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 15 u
= 15 x 5
= $75
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 15 u - 8 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 5
= $35
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 8 u + 15 u
= 23 u
= 23 x 5
= $115
Answer(s): (a) $75; (b) $35; (c) $115
