710 of Adam's money is equal to
19 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $10.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have less than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
710 of Adam's money =
19 of Bryan's money
7 x 110 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 79 x 7 of Bryan's money
710 of Adam's money =
763 of Bryan's money
10 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 10 = 1
Amount that Bryan has
= 63 u
= 63 x 1
= $63
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 63 u - 10 u
= 53 u
= 53 x 1
= $53
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 10 u + 63 u
= 73 u
= 73 x 1
= $73
Answer(s): (a) $63; (b) $53; (c) $73
