Answer:
First backpacker should receive $4 and the second one $2
Step-by-step explanation:
notice that the total amount of rice for the three is 600 g.
Then, the first one that gave 400 g contributed 400 out of 600, that is 400/600 = 2/3
The second one contributed 200 out of 600, that is 200/600 = 1/3
then the first one should receive 2/3 of the $6 = (2/3) x 6 = $4
and the second one should receive 1/3 of the %6 = (1/3) x 6 = $2
4x12 = 48 and4x6 = 24 so
Add 48 and 24 =72
3 digits after a decimal place = 3 zeros.
0.512×1000=512/100
Answer: 512/1000
