58 of Adam's money is equal to
15 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $40.
- 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.
58 of Adam's money =
15 of Bryan's money
5 x 18 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 55 x 5 of Bryan's money
58 of Adam's money =
525 of Bryan's money
8 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 8 = 5
Amount that Bryan has
= 25 u
= 25 x 5
= $125
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 25 u - 8 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 5
= $85
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 8 u + 25 u
= 33 u
= 33 x 5
= $165
Answer(s): (a) $125; (b) $85; (c) $165
