Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount from Maria be x

Maggie receives 1/5 x hence remainder is x-1/5 x=4/5x

Journi receives 3/8 of 4/5x=3/8 *4/5x=3/10x

Total by Maggie and Journi is 1/5x +3/10x=1/2x

Remainder is x-1/2x=1/2x

If Terrence receives the rest which is 1/2x to represent $10 then x=$10*2=$20

Amount Maggie receives is 1/5*$20=$4

X/5=2/3=5/y<br><br> 2/3 <br> 4/9<br> 1
Mademuasel [1]
\frac{x}{5}= \frac{2}{3}  = \frac{5}{y}
Break the equation into parts;
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3} ;  \frac{2}{3}= \frac{5}{y}
Solving for x;
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{3}
x=\frac{10}{3}
Solving for y;
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{y} &#10;y= \frac{3*5}{2} &#10;y= \frac{15}{2}
\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10/3}{15/2}
\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4}{15}
