712 of Adam's money is equal to
12 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $60.
- 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.
712 of Adam's money =
12 of Bryan's money
7 x 112 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 72 x 7 of Bryan's money
712 of Adam's money =
714 of Bryan's money
12 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 12 = 5
Amount that Bryan has
= 14 u
= 14 x 5
= $70
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 14 u - 12 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= $10
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 12 u + 14 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 5
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $70; (b) $10; (c) $130
