Ratios are like fractions in the way that you can simplify them if they have common factors.
we can simplify this ratio to
1:3
that means that the bigger part got 3 times the amount of the smaller part. The problem says that Evan got the smaller amount, so if we multiply the smaller amount by 3 we should and will get the bigger amount. It says that $420 is the smaller part.
420*3=1260
so the bigger amount of money is $1260
So, because Ricky got the bigger part of Mr. George's money, he must have received
$1260<span />
Answer:
250.50 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever an equation asks for when it will take x (or m in this case) amount of things or time you should know that there will be 2 different equations that have to equal each other
The equation will be 250.50 - 35m = 300 - 45.25m
The 35m is being subtracted from 250.50 because they are losing money each time they spend. This also applies to 45.25m
Also 35m and 45.25m are variables because it says they spend that much money each month. They don't specify how many months, so we have to put a variable after it.
The blanks should be:
<span>2 halves
</span><span>7 halves
</span><span>7 friends
This is because 3 and 1/2 is the same as the improper fraction of 7/2. </span>
