13 of Adam's money is equal to
27 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $60.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Bryan have more than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
13 of Adam's money =
27 of Bryan's money
1 x 23 x 2 of Adam's money =
2 x 17 x 1 of Bryan's money
26 of Adam's money =
27 of Bryan's money
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Amount that Bryan has
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= $70
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 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
