49 of Bryan's money is equal to
23 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $297.
- 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 4 and 2.
LCM of 4 and 2 = 4
4 x 19 x 1 of Bryan's money =
2 x 23 x 2 of Adam's money
49 of Bryan's money =
46 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 9 u
Amount that Adam has = 6 u
9 u = 297
1 u = 297 ÷ 9 = 33
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 33
= $198
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 9 u - 6 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 33
= $99
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 9 u + 6 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 33
= $495
Answer(s): (a) $198; (b) $99; (c) $495
