910 of Bryan's money is equal to
38 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $20.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Bryan have less than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
910 of Bryan's money =
38 of Adam's money
9 x 110 x 1 of Bryan's money =
3 x 38 x 3 of Adam's money
910 of Bryan's money =
924 of Adam's money
10 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 10 = 2
Amount that Adam has
= 24 u
= 24 x 2
= $48
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 24 u - 10 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 2
= $28
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 10 u + 24 u
= 34 u
= 34 x 2
= $68
Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $28; (c) $68
