Hello, please consider the following.

$3a+5b + 5a + 3b = 8(a+b)=10+30=40\\\\a+b=\dfrac{40}{8}=5$

And the average is

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}\boxed{=\dfrac{5}{2}}$

Thank you.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

First, we need to find the amount of dip that was divided amount the two friends.

We know that it is 4/7 of the left dip

therefore:

amount divided among the two friends = (4/7) x (3/4) = 3/7 of the original amount of dip.

This amount is divided among two friends,

therefore:

amount that each friend gets = (3/7) / (2) = 3/14 = 0.2 of the amount of dip

tell me if this is completely wrong because i'm not good at this
