25 of Bryan's money is equal to
16 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $10.
- 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.
25 of Bryan's money =
16 of Adam's money
2 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 26 x 2 of Adam's money
25 of Bryan's money =
212 of Adam's money
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Amount that Adam has
= 12 u
= 12 x 2
= $24
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 2
= $14
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 12 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 2
= $34
Answer(s): (a) $24; (b) $14; (c) $34
