You have to subtract $2.50 and $5.05 then you divide that with 3 and you should get $0.85
Equations -
I like to find the decimal expression of the fractions, to make this easier.
Divide each sides by 0.6
Answer: 6/7
Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Answer: Option A
Take not that this is a square bulletin board thus area = Length Times Base. Notice how it says its a square as well? thus telling us that each side is of equal length
Squaring the value N would give us the value of the one side of the board
