Answer:
£714.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to set up expresssions for the two shares:
Let x = the amount of one share. The other share is 1785 - x. <u>You don't have to worry about which is smaller--that part will work out automatically</u>!
The two shares are in the ratio of 2:3, so set up the proportion

Again, you don't have to worry--you could set up the proportion "upside down" and everything will work out in the end.
Solve the proportion for x by "cross multiplying" -- use the Means-Extremes Property of proportions.

So one share is £714£ and the other is £1785 - £714 = £1071.
The smaller share is £714.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4/4+4-4=1
2. 4/4+4/4=2
3. 4+4/4-4=3
4. 4 × (4 − 4) + 4=4
5. (4 × 4 + 4) / 4=5
6. 44 / 4 − 4=6
7. 4+4-4/4=7
8. 4+4+4-4=8
9. 4+4+4/9=9
10. 44 / 4.4=10
He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.
First, lets find equivalents of 1/2

If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.
2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4
3/4 is greater than 1/2
Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice
4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice
5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.
Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions
