Each person payed $175
First add the cost up:
$900 on transportation + $500 hotel room= $1400 total
8 people paying $1400 means divide 1400 by 8 to see how much one person payed.
1400/8 = 175
Each person payed $175
The five men would be paid $10.41 each at the same hourly rate
First, we can convert both of them to improper fractions.
We do that by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, and keeping the denominator.
2 5/3 - 2 3/2
So we have:
11/3 - 7/2
Convert both of them to denominators of 6:
22/6 - 21/6
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators:
1/6
