Given:
1st fraction - 7/24
2nd fraction - 34/48
Rules in dividing fractions:
1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
34/48 becomes 48/34
2) Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
7/24 * 48/34 = 7*48 / 24*34 = 336/816
3) Simplify the fraction
336/816 ⇒ 112/272 ⇒ 56/136 ⇒ 14/34 ⇒ 7/17
336 ÷ 3 = 112
816 ÷ 3 = 272
112 ÷ 2 = 56
272 ÷ 2 = 136
56 ÷ 4 = 14
136 ÷ 4 = 34
14 ÷ 2 = 7
34 ÷ 2 = 17
7/24 ÷ 35/48 = 7/17
The number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks
Given:
<em>Amount with Sam </em>= $2,500
<em>Additional savings each week</em> = $40
<em>Amount with Marshal</em> = $7,300
<em>Amount spent each week</em> = $60
let
x = <em>number of weeks</em>
<em>Sam equation:</em>
2500 + 40x
<em>Marshall's equation:</em>
7300 - 60x
Equate both
2500 + 40x = 7300 - 60x
<em>collect like terms</em>
2500 - 7300 = - 60x - 40x
-4800 = -100x
divide both sides by - 100
x = -4800 / -100
x = 48 weeks
Therefore, the number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks
