Answer:

Salary = Rs23000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shopping = \frac{1}{5}

Sister = \frac{2}{5}R

Left over = Rs11,040

Required

Her salary in that month

Given that she spent \frac{1}{5} of her salary on shopping, this implies that she has \frac{4}{5} of her salary left

From what's left, she gave her sister \frac{2}{5}

This means she gave her sister \frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{5}

Sister = \frac{8}{25}

Calculating a fraction of what's left

Left over = 1 -Shopping - Sister

Left over = 1  - \frac{1}{5}- \frac{8}{25}

Left over = \frac{25 - 5 - 8}{25}

Left over = \frac{12}{25}

Recall that she has Rs11,040

This means that

\frac{12}{25} of Salary = Rs11,040

Multiply both sides by \frac{25}{12}

\frac{12}{25} * \frac{25}{12} * Salary = Rs11,040 * \frac{25}{12}

Salary = Rs11,040 * \frac{25}{12}

Salary = \frac{Rs276000}{12}

Salary = Rs23000

Hence, her salary for that month was Rs23000

Answer:

Her salary = Rs 23000

Step-by-step explanation:

In a month, Ezhil spent 1/5 of her salary on shopping.

Let

Her salary = a

she spent 1/5 of a on shopping

Amount spent on shopping = 1a/5

She gave 2/5 of the remaining to her sister .

The remaining money = a - 1a/5 = 5a - a/5 = 4a/5

She gave 2/5 of 4a/5 to her sister. Therefore,

The amount she gave to her sister = 2/5 × 4a/5 = 8a/25

Out of her salary she is left with Rs 11040 .Therefore,

a - 1a/5 - 8a/25 = 11040

25a - 5a - 8a/25 = 11040

12a/25 = 11040

12a = 11040 × 25

12a = 276000

divide both sides by 12

a = 276000/12

a = 23000

Her salary = Rs 23000

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:5 what fraction of the class is boys and what fraction of the class is girls
ale4655 [162]
First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).

9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.

The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.

This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct. 

But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)

two people were doing yard work for 1 hour and 35 minutes then they stopped for lunch at 1:20pm at what time did they start doin
MrMuchimi

Answer: The answer would be at 11:45.

Step-by-step explanation: First I though, if they stoppedd for lunch at 1:20 and they've been doing yard work for 1 hour and 35 minutes, I would subtract. 1 hour taken away from 1:20 would be 12:20. Then, since it would be hard to subtract 35 minutes from 12:20, 35 minutes - 20 minutes = 15 minutes. 12:20 subtract 20 minutes = 12:00. 12:00 - 15 minutes equal to 11:45. I hope this helps. I know this explanation can be confusing but it's the best I can do at the moment.
