Step 1: Find the Lowest Common Multiple between the denominators.
Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number (the one that will get them to the lcm) so that they have the LCM as their new denominator.
Step 3: Add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
Answer:
Each friend got 2 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
[original amount of apples]-[Apples Sally has after distribution] = [friends] x [number of apples]
Filling in the brackets, you get this equation.
15-9=3 x apples per friend
6=3 x apples per friend
2 = apples per friend
Answer:
11 of 20p, 22 of 10p and 33 of 5p
Step-by-step explanation:
Eva has 20p, 10p and 5p coins, total of £6.05 = 605p
Let 20p=x, 10p=y, 5p=z
<u>Then</u>:
- 20x + 10y + 5z = 605
- y : x = 2 : 1 ⇒ x= y/2
- y : z = 2 : 3 ⇒ z= 3y/2
<u>Rewriting the first equation considering next two:</u>
- 10y + 10y + 7.5y = 605
- 27.5y = 605
- y= 605/27.5
- y= 22
- x= y/2 = 22/2 = 11
- z = 3y/2 = 3*11 = 33
<u>Answer:</u> 11 of 20p coins, 22 of 10p coins and 33 of 5p coins
