45 of Bryan's money is equal to
12 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $10.
- 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.
45 of Bryan's money =
12 of Adam's money
4 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 42 x 4 of Adam's money
45 of Bryan's money =
48 of Adam's money
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Amount that Adam has
= 8 u
= 8 x 2
= $16
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= $6
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 8 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 2
= $26
Answer(s): (a) $16; (b) $6; (c) $26
