We are required to find the total sum of money given the fraction

The total sum of money is $9

let

Total sum of money = x

8 1/3 of x = $75

8 1/3 × x = $75

25/3 × x = 75

25/3x = 75

Divide both sides by 25/3

x = 75 ÷ 25/3

x = 75 × 3/25

x = (75 × 3) / 25

x = 225 / 25

x = 9

Therefore, the total sum of money is $9

Simplify. (WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST)

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{x} }{2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalize the denominator first (keep in mind we are NOT solving this because there is no equals sign here. We are merely simplifying.)

$\frac{\sqrt{5x} }{x\sqrt{20} } *\frac{\sqrt{20} }{\sqrt{20} } =\frac{\sqrt{100x} }{20x}$

Now simplify by taking the square root of 100 to get:

$\frac{10\sqrt{x} }{20x}$

Divide numerator and denomiator by 10 to get:

$\frac{\sqrt{x} }{2x}$
