310 of Bryan's money is equal to
27 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.
310 of Bryan's money =
27 of Adam's money
3 x 210 x 2 of Bryan's money =
2 x 37 x 3 of Adam's money
620 of Bryan's money =
621 of Adam's money
20 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 20 = 3
Amount that Adam has
= 21 u
= 21 x 3
= $63
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 21 u - 20 u
= 1 u
= 1 x 3
= $3
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 20 u + 21 u
= 41 u
= 41 x 3
= $123
Answer(s): (a) $63; (b) $3; (c) $123
