Answer:
2/5 hour is closest to 0 1/2 hours, 5/8 hour is closest to 1/2 hour. Therefore, the best estimate for the total time Maria spent with her sister is close to 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent the time Maria spends playing the game as 0.4, since 2/5 as a fraction is 0.4. This is closer to 1/2, which is 0.5 then it is to 0, because 4 is closer to 5 then 0. Then, we can represent the time Maria reads the book as 0.625, which is closer to 1/2 then it is to 1. Now we can add the estimated times.
hour
5 2/5 is the answer as a mixed number
Answer:
let cp be x
sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain)
sp = 88x/100------(when 12% loss
according to question
115x/100 - 88x/100 = 81
or, (115x-88x)= 8100
or, 27x = 8100
or, x= 8100/27
x = 300
hence cp is RS 300
12 divided by 0.3 equals 40
