2400 in prize money...
the first winner will receive 1/3 of the money..
1/3 * 2400 = 2400/3 = 800
leaving 2400 - 800 = 1600
the next 10 winners will receive 1/10 of the remaining amount
1/10 * 1600 = 1600/10 = 160 <== each will receive $ 160
Answer:
3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to make them the same fraction.
2/5 = 4/10
3/10 =3/10
3/10 + 4/10 = 7/10
10/10 - 10/10 =3/10
3/10 is the amount of tigers.
Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p =
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2:53
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that you are subtracting times here, so have in mind that if the first number indicates hours, and the second number minutes, and you are asked to subtract more of one quantity (minutes for example) than what you have, you will need to convert some of the hours into minutes.
Recall that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.
in the difference 4:08 minus 1:15, you sre expected to subtract minutes from minutes and hours from hours. Now the number of minutes you need to subtract from 08 is 15 (larger than 08) so we need to convert 1 hour into minutes in the first expression, and then (with enough minutes to deal with), we can subtract:
4:08 is the same as 3:68 where we converted 1 hour to 60 minutes and added those 60 minutes to the existing 8 .
Now the difference can be performed:
3:68 - 1:15 = (3-1):(68-15) = 2:53
