14 of Bryan's money is equal to
56 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $160.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Bryan have more than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same using the LCM of 1 and 5.
LCM of 1 and 5 = 5
1 x 54 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 16 x 1 of Adam's money
520 of Bryan's money =
56 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 20 u
Amount that Adam has = 6 u
20 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 20 = 8
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 8
= $48
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 20 u - 6 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 8
= $112
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 20 u + 6 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 8
= $208
Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $112; (c) $208
