12 of Bryan's money is equal to
67 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $156.
- 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 6.
LCM of 1 and 6 = 6
1 x 62 x 6 of Bryan's money =
6 x 17 x 1 of Adam's money
612 of Bryan's money =
67 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 12 u
Amount that Adam has = 7 u
12 u = 156
1 u = 156 ÷ 12 = 13
Amount that Adam has
= 7 u
= 7 x 13
= $91
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 13
= $65
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 12 u + 7 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 13
= $247
Answer(s): (a) $91; (b) $65; (c) $247
