12 of Adam's money is equal to
38 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $60.
- 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.
12 of Adam's money =
38 of Bryan's money
1 x 32 x 3 of Adam's money =
3 x 18 x 1 of Bryan's money
36 of Adam's money =
38 of Bryan's money
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Amount that Bryan has
= 8 u
= 8 x 10
= $80
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 8 u - 6 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= $20
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 6 u + 8 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 10
= $140
Answer(s): (a) $80; (b) $20; (c) $140
