Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
I think maybe either B or C, ope I helped, sorry if I didn't!!
Answer:
enjooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
The answer is 1/12
The chance of getting a 3 on a six-sided dice is 1/6
The possibility of getting heads on a two-sided coin is 1/2
6 multiplied by 2 is 12
1 multiplied by 1 is 1
Hope it helps!
You didn't show us much of the page with the question on it,
so we can't be sure of exactly what you're working on in math.
If you're working with things like squares and rectangles, then
'L' and 'W' are often used to represent the Length and Width of
shapes drawn on paper, or even Length and Width of 3D objects
like blocks or boxes.
