310 of Bryan's money is equal to
12 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $270.
- 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 3 and 1.
LCM of 3 and 1 = 3
3 x 110 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 32 x 3 of Adam's money
310 of Bryan's money =
36 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 10 u
Amount that Adam has = 6 u
10 u = 270
1 u = 270 ÷ 10 = 27
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 27
= $162
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 27
= $108
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 10 u + 6 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 27
= $432
Answer(s): (a) $162; (b) $108; (c) $432
