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

50× 3/8 how to reduce answer to lowest te
hoa [83]

The lowest term is \frac{75}{4}.

Solution:

Given expression is 50\times\frac{3}{8}

<u>To reduce this term to the lowest term:</u>

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{50}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}

Multiply the numerator and denominator.

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{150}{8}

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.

So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.

           $=\frac{150\div2}{8\div2}

           $=\frac{75}{4}

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{75}{4}

Hence the lowest term is \frac{75}{4}.

Whats the answer to these? (These are called Proper fractions.)
Darya [45]

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: \frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: \frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}. For Edgar, that would mean: \frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
