I like to start by turning all my numbers into the same form. You can go either way but I am going to turn the decimals into fractions. so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.
0.755 is like 755/1000 which can be reduced to 151/200 (if you don't understand the convertions let me know i will explaine more.)
Next give all the fractions a common denominator. both 8 and 10 go into 200 so we can use that. 151/200 already has a denominator of 200 so that one is set.
for 7/10 well, 10 time 20 is 200 so multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 20 so you get 140/200
the last one is 5/8 8 times 25 is 200 so multiply both numbers by 25 to get 125/200
the fractionos we have are 125/200 151/200 and 140/200. Now because they all have the same denominator the one with the lowest numerator is the least number and the one with the highest number is the greatest number.
125/200 140/200 151/200 now just replace the original number with the order they are placed in.
125/200 was 5/8
140/200 was 0.7
151/200 was 0.755
so the final answer is
5/8, 0.7, 0.755
Answer:
Ben received: £140
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount = £240
Given ratio: 5:7
It means £240 is divided into 12 parts
So 1 part will be equal to: £240/12
1 part = £20
Now given ratio is:
5:7
Multiplying each share with £20
5*(£20) : 7* (£20)
£100: £140
So according to ratio amounts:
Alex received: £100
Ben received: £140
I hope it will help you!
Let's use our trigonometric skills to solve for this one:
Well a yard is 3 ft
so divide 3 into 13
3 goes into 13 4 times and you get 12
you have 4 whole yards and 1 ft left or 1/3 of a yard.
:) hoped this helped
