710 of Adam's money is equal to
37 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.
710 of Adam's money =
37 of Bryan's money
7 x 310 x 3 of Adam's money =
3 x 77 x 7 of Bryan's money
2130 of Adam's money =
2149 of Bryan's money
30 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 30 = 2
Amount that Bryan has
= 49 u
= 49 x 2
= $98
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 49 u - 30 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 2
= $38
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 30 u + 49 u
= 79 u
= 79 x 2
= $158
Answer(s): (a) $98; (b) $38; (c) $158
