Answer:
1793.75 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Total amount of land leased = 2050 m²
Fraction of land given to brother = 1/8
Amount of land given to brother :
1/8 * 2050 = 256.25 m²
Amount of land left :
2050 m² - 256.25 m²
= 1793.75 m²
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.
