Answer:
Total paint left over = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - To paint a house, 5/4 L of white paint and 1/2 L of blue paint
were mixed. In the end only 2/3 L of the mixture were used.
To find - How many liters of paint were left over ?
Proof -
Given that,
5/4 L of white paint and 1/2 L of blue paint were mixed.
So, total mixture = 
= 
= 
⇒Total mixture =
Now,
Given that ,
In the end only 2/3 L of the mixture were used.
So, total mixture left = 
= 
=
∴ we get
Total paint left over =
The quotient is 284 divided by 5, or
284
----- If you mult. numerator and denominator by 2, you get 578/10, or 57.8.
5
Try the numbers 550 and 600 (because 574 is between them). Now divide 550 and 600 by 10; the results will be 55 and 60. The actual value of 284/5 is between 55 and 60: 57.8 (which you can verify with a calculator).
19.04 is the answer
hope that helps :)
It's a possibility. What's it worth to you, and what's your question ?
Answer:
2 × 54,000 ÷ (1+2)
£36,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of the business = £54,000
wages : other costs = 2 : 1
Total ratio = 2 + 1 = 3
How much do I spend on wages every year?
Amount spent on wages yearly = ratio of wages / total ratio × Total cost of the business
= 2 × 54,000 ÷ (1+2)
= 2/3 × £54,000
= £108,000/3
= £36,000
Amount spent on wages yearly = £36,000
