How far did they row together
To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.
This gives;
Take LCM
Simplify
<em>Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile</em>
6a+12=2(3a-8)
6a+12=6a-16
-12. -12
6a=6a-4
-6a -6a
0=-4
no solution because the equation is false.
Answer:
<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division by Sharing</u>
A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.
The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.
The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.
By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.
We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money
