35 of Adam's money is equal to
12 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $70.
- 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.
35 of Adam's money =
12 of Bryan's money
3 x 15 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 32 x 3 of Bryan's money
35 of Adam's money =
36 of Bryan's money
5 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 5 = 14
Amount that Bryan has
= 6 u
= 6 x 14
= $84
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
= 1 x 14
= $14
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 6 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 14
= $154
Answer(s): (a) $84; (b) $14; (c) $154
