Answer:
<em>Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Scaling</u>
The scale factor established to represent a desk 2 meters long and 1 meter wide is:
1 centimeter = 0.5 meter
We need to convert the real dimensions to the scaled dimensions. To complete the task, it's a good idea to multiply the real dimensions by the ratio:

to get the scaled dimensions.
The length of 2 meters is scaled to:

And the width of 1 meter is scaled to:
\displaystyle 1\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=2 cm
Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.

The answer is above.

Additional note 2:
In the answer I filled in "0" at the place where "n" was. This is because the question tells us n=0
X = how much Tim has
y = how much Tom has
x + y = 2.40
x = 3y
Substitute 3y for x
3y + y = 2.40
4y = 2.40
y = 0.60
Plug in y value into previous equation
x = 3(0.60)
x = 1.80
ANSWERS: Tim has $1.80 and Tom has $0.60
