Answer:

See the detailed answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio=  1:4:7

combined ratio= 1+4+7= 12

Total amount= $636,000

Apply the part to all method

The first person will take

1/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*1

x= 636,000/12

x= 53000

The second person will take

4/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*4

x= 2544000/12

x= 212000

The third person will take

7/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*7

x= 4452000/12

x= 371000

Fareed wants to add 1/4 +5/8 Add the fractions by using the giant one to create a common denominator
saul85 [17]

Hi!

This question is about math.

\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}

<u><em>Least Common Factor 4 or 8: 8</em></u>

<u><em>Factors of 4 : 1, 2, 4 (prime factorization) (2*2)</em></u>

<u><em>Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8 (prime factorization) (2*2*2)</em></u>

<u><em>Least Common Factor of a,b is the smallest positive number that divisible by both a and b.</em></u>

<em>Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either 4 or 8.</em>

<em>Then multiply by the numbers.</em>

2*2*2

=8

<em>Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its corresponding denominator to turn it into the Least Common Factor of 8.</em>

<em>For 1/4 multiply the denominator and numerator by the 2.</em>

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*2}{4*2}=\frac{2}{8}

\frac{2}{8}+\frac{5}{8}

<em>Since the denominator are equal, combine the fractions.</em>

\frac{2+5}{8}

<em>Add the numbers 2+5=7</em>

=\frac{7}{8}

Hope this helps! Thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly. Have a great day.

X/4 = 3/8 solve for x
Andrei [34K]
The ratio of 4 to 8 simplifies to 1:2. X will therefore be 3/2, as 3/2:3 simplifies to 1/2 (3 = 6/2).
