Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5

Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it,  he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.

alexdok [17]

35

since m and n are the midpoints of ab and ac resistively

then ,bc=2mn=16

since m and l are the midpoints of ba and bc respectively

then, ac =2mn =10

then,nc =1/2 × 10 =5

similary, mb=6

then ,perimeter=nc+mb+mn+bc=5+6+8+16=35

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Ken intends to start a savings account

10% = leisure spending

This means 90% = Expenses for school

Let us represent the amount he must save as : x

Hence in other for him to have $2,160 in his savings account, the amount Ken must earn is calculated as:

90/100 × x = $2,160

Cross Multiply

90x = $2,160 × 100

x = ($2,160 × 100) ÷ 90

x =$2,400

Therefore, the amount Ken has to earn to have the amount needed for school is $2,400
