29 of Adam's money is equal to
12 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $198.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have more than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same using the LCM of 2 and 1.
LCM of 2 and 1 = 2
2 x 19 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 22 x 2 of Bryan's money
29 of Adam's money =
24 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 9 u
Amount that Bryan has = 4 u
9 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 9 = 22
Amount that Bryan has
= 4 u
= 4 x 22
= $88
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 22
= $110
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 9 u + 4 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 22
= $286
Answer(s): (a) $88; (b) $110; (c) $286
