1112 of Bryan's money is equal to
59 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $60.
- 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.
1112 of Bryan's money =
59 of Adam's money
11 x 512 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 119 x 11 of Adam's money
5560 of Bryan's money =
5599 of Adam's money
60 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 60 = 1
Amount that Adam has
= 99 u
= 99 x 1
= $99
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 99 u - 60 u
= 39 u
= 39 x 1
= $39
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 60 u + 99 u
= 159 u
= 159 x 1
= $159
Answer(s): (a) $99; (b) $39; (c) $159
