1/5.
If 4 pieces of gum are each divided into 5 parts, that will mean there will be 20 smaller parts (5*4=20).
Each person will get one part of each piece of gum. If there are 4 pieces of gum originally, this means each person gets 4 small pieces of gum
If each person gets 4 small pieces of gum and there are 20 small pieces altogether, that makes the fraction 4/20
Since 4 and 20 are both divisible by 4, that makes the simplified answer 1/5.

Answer:
k = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the roots of the equation 3x² + 2x + k are x₁ and x₂ and 2x₁ = 3x₂.
By the roots of an equation, ax² + bx + c , where its roots are x₁ and x₂. It follows that sum of roots are x₁ + x₂ = -b/a and product of roots are x₁x₂ = c/a.
Comparing both equations, a = 3 b = 2 and c = k.
So, x₁ + x₂ = -b/a = -2/3 and x₁x₂ = c/a = k/3
x₁ + x₂ = -2/3 and x₁x₂ = k/3
3x₁ + 3x₂ = -2 (1) and 3x₁x₂ = k (2)
Since 2x₁ = -3x₂, and -2x₁ = 3x₂substituting this into equations (1) and (2) above, we have
3x₁ + 3x₂ = -2 (1) and 3x₁x₂ = k (2)
3x₁ + (-2x₁) = -2 and x₁(3x₂) = k
3x₁ - 2x₁ = -2 and x₁(3x₂) = k
x₁ = -2 and x₁(-2x₁) = k
x₁ = -2 and -2x₁² = k
Substituting x₁ = -2 into -2x₁² = k, we have
-2x₁² = k
-2(-2)² = k
2(4) = k
8 = k
So, k = 8
Answer - 150
One square has an area of 25 (5x5) so 6 squares (25x6) have an area of 150.
