So basically sam split the 1000 to 2 groups so we have 1000 ÷ 2
now the first group divided the 500 (since 1000÷ 2 is 500) among five children so it would be 500 ÷ 5 which equals 100 per child and the second group divided their 500 between to boys, so you would get 500÷2 which is 250
so for group one it would be: 1000÷2÷5 which equals 100 per child and the second group is 1000÷2÷2 which equals 250 for each brother
Usually you would have two to add, are you sure this is complete? If this is it then all you do is w-8w, which is -7w.
Answer:
7/50 meter
Step-by-step explanation:
Total piece of string = 7/8 meter
Used string = 1/5 of the piece of string
Used string =
1/5 of 7/8 meter
= 1/5 × 7/8
= 7/40 meter
Balance = Total string - used string
= 7/8 - 7/40
= 35-7/40
= 28/40
Balance = 28/40 meter
cuts the rest into 5 equal parts. What is the length of the pieces.
28/40 ÷ 5
= 28/40 × 1/5
= 28 / 200
= 7/50 meter
Length of each piece = 7/50 meter
