(a) how much money did jada receive?
(b) how much more money did nicholas receive than calvin?

b. 30$
2/3s of 60 is 40 because 3 divided by 60 is 20 so 
20 40 60 
1/3 2/3 3/3
jada got half of what nicholas got and nicholas got 2/3s of the money so go back to our little chart and see what 2/3s is 
its 40 jada got half of 40 so 40/2 which is 20
