19 of Bryan's money is equal to
49 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $108.
- 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 4.
LCM of 1 and 4 = 4
1 x 49 x 4 of Bryan's money =
4 x 19 x 1 of Adam's money
436 of Bryan's money =
49 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 36 u
Amount that Adam has = 9 u
36 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 36 = 3
Amount that Adam has
= 9 u
= 9 x 3
= $27
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 36 u - 9 u
= 27 u
= 27 x 3
= $81
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 36 u + 9 u
= 45 u
= 45 x 3
= $135
Answer(s): (a) $27; (b) $81; (c) $135
