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.
Their earnings would be the same after 4 hours
Let the number of hours be x, and the weekly earning be y
So, the given parameters are:
<u>Kimi</u>
- Earnings = $9 per hour
- Weekly allowance = $8
So, the equation for Kimi's weekly earning is:

<u />
<u>Jordan</u>
- Earnings = $7 per hour
- Weekly allowance = $16
So, the equation for Jordan's weekly earning is:

Equate both equations

Collect like terms


Divide both sides by 2

Hence, their earnings would be the same after 4 hours
