25 of Adam's money is equal to
112 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $30.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have less than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
25 of Adam's money =
112 of Bryan's money
2 x 15 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 212 x 2 of Bryan's money
25 of Adam's money =
224 of Bryan's money
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Amount that Bryan has
= 24 u
= 24 x 6
= $144
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 24 u - 5 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 6
= $114
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 24 u
= 29 u
= 29 x 6
= $174
Answer(s): (a) $144; (b) $114; (c) $174
