710 of Adam's money is equal to
512 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $50.
- 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 =
512 of Bryan's money
7 x 510 x 5 of Adam's money =
5 x 712 x 7 of Bryan's money
3550 of Adam's money =
3584 of Bryan's money
50 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 50 = 1
Amount that Bryan has
= 84 u
= 84 x 1
= $84
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 84 u - 50 u
= 34 u
= 34 x 1
= $34
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 50 u + 84 u
= 134 u
= 134 x 1
= $134
Answer(s): (a) $84; (b) $34; (c) $134
