910 of Bryan's money is equal to
611 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $60.
- 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.
910 of Bryan's money =
611 of Adam's money
9 x 210 x 2 of Bryan's money =
6 x 311 x 3 of Adam's money
1820 of Bryan's money =
1833 of Adam's money
20 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 20 = 3
Amount that Adam has
= 33 u
= 33 x 3
= $99
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 33 u - 20 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 3
= $39
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 20 u + 33 u
= 53 u
= 53 x 3
= $159
Answer(s): (a) $99; (b) $39; (c) $159
