56 of Bryan's money is equal to
12 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $60.
- 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.
56 of Bryan's money =
12 of Adam's money
5 x 16 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 52 x 5 of Adam's money
56 of Bryan's money =
510 of Adam's money
6 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 6 = 10
Amount that Adam has
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= $100
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= $40
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 6 u + 10 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 10
= $160
Answer(s): (a) $100; (b) $40; (c) $160
