Answer: 8, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of two numbers is 32 and one number is 3 times as large as the other, the first number can be defined as x and the second number is 3x.

Divide 32 by (3+1) = 4 and you get 8, which is x.

The second number is 3(8) = 24.

Rachel saved money to buy art supplies. She used 13 of her savings to buy brushes. She used 35 of her savings to buy paint. What

vekshin1

Given:

Rachel used $\dfrac{1}{3}$ of her savings to buy brushes.

She used $\dfrac{3}{5}$ of her savings to buy paint.

To find:

The fraction for remaining savings.

Solution:

Fraction that Rachel used of her savings to buy brushes and paint is

$\text{Fraction for used amount}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{3}{5}$

$=\dfrac{5+9}{15}$

$=\dfrac{14}{15}$

Now,

$\text{Fraction for remaining savings}=1-\text{Fraction for used amount}$

$\text{Fraction for remaining savings}=1-\dfrac{14}{15}$

$\text{Fraction for remaining savings}=\dfrac{1}{15}$

Therefore, $\dfrac{1}{15}$ of her savings is remaining.
