35 of Bryan's money is equal to
12 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $10.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Adam have more than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
35 of Bryan's money =
12 of Adam's money
3 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 32 x 3 of Adam's money
35 of Bryan's money =
36 of Adam's money
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 2
= $12
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
= 1 x 2
= $2
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 6 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 2
= $22
Answer(s): (a) $12; (b) $2; (c) $22
