67 of Adam's money is equal to
12 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $70.
- 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.
67 of Adam's money =
12 of Bryan's money
6 x 17 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 62 x 6 of Bryan's money
67 of Adam's money =
612 of Bryan's money
7 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 7 = 10
Amount that Bryan has
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= $120
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= $50
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 7 u + 12 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 10
= $190
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $50; (c) $190
