19 of Bryan's money is equal to
56 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $225.
- 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 59 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 16 x 1 of Adam's money
545 of Bryan's money =
56 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 45 u
Amount that Adam has = 6 u
45 u = 225
1 u = 225 ÷ 45 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 5
= $30
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 45 u - 6 u
= 39 u
= 39 x 5
= $195
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 45 u + 6 u
= 51 u
= 51 x 5
= $255
Answer(s): (a) $30; (b) $195; (c) $255
