Maria is wrong because they have completed 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the top of the Ferris wheel,the ride is 1/2 done. All that is left is to go down,which is the other half. Maria is wrong in saying they are 1/4 done,that is a quarter,not half.
The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)
Not sure about the first one,
The second one is 1/9.
:) Hope this answers your question :)
