56 of Bryan's money is equal to
15 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $30.
- 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 =
15 of Adam's money
5 x 16 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 55 x 5 of Adam's money
56 of Bryan's money =
525 of Adam's money
6 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 25 u
= 25 x 5
= $125
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 25 u - 6 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 5
= $95
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 6 u + 25 u
= 31 u
= 31 x 5
= $155
Answer(s): (a) $125; (b) $95; (c) $155
