13 of Bryan's money is equal to
27 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $60.
- 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.
13 of Bryan's money =
27 of Adam's money
1 x 23 x 2 of Bryan's money =
2 x 17 x 1 of Adam's money
26 of Bryan's money =
27 of Adam's money
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Amount that Adam has
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= $70
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 7 u - 6 u
= 1 u
= 1 x 10
= $10
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 6 u + 7 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $70; (b) $10; (c) $130
