Answer:
Harry earns 26 and Hamish earns 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the amount earned by each one of them is shown below:
Let us assume the hairy be Y
And, the Hamish be M
It is given that Harry earns a dollar i.e more than 5/4
And, it is $2 less than 7/5
So, the equation would be
y = 1.25m + 1 ...........................(i)
And,
y= 1.4m -2 .............................(ii)
Now equal both the equations
1.25m + 1 = 1.4m - 2
3 = 0.15m
So, m = 20
Now put the values of m in any of the above equation to find out the value of Y
Y = 1.25m + 1
= 1.25 (20) + 1
= 26
Asking the Math Gods...
The factors of 15 Answer : 1,3,5,15
so 3 and 5 are the only that would get 15
therefore this problem isnt correctly written.. You can't get 6 by adding any of the factored numbers
= 6 feet
