Question

A) 1 2 /5 x 2 1 /7 ÷ 1 4 /5 =

Answer 1

Answer:

a) (Assuming it's $\frac{1\frac{2}{5} \times 2\frac{1}{7} }{1\frac{4}{5}}$) he result is 1.

b) Smallest amount is $60,000. Total amount is $300,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let's do!

$\frac{1\frac{2}{5} \times 2\frac{1}{7} }{1\frac{4}{5}}=\frac{\frac{7}{5} \times \frac{9}{7} }{\frac{9}{5}}=1$

b) Let's have the proportion 2:3:5, then the paid amounts were

2x, 3x and 5x (total amount 10x)

The largest amount: 5x = $150,000

Then x = $30,000

i) The smallest amount is 2x = $60,000

ii) The total amount is 10x = $300,000
