Gordon gets £72
Explanation:
Sarah gets twice as much as Gordon and Gordon gets three times as much as Malachy, which means that Malachy gets 1 part of the money, Gordon gets 3 parts because he has three times as much as Malachy, and Sarah gets 6 because she gets twice as much as Gordon. As a ratio from Sarah to Gordon to Malachy its 6:3:1. All of that adds up to £240. If u add 6+3+1 it gives you 10. 240/10 is £24. And Gordon has 3 parts so you do 3x24 which gives you £72
Pablo ran farther, the work I did is below. I used an LCD (Lowest common denominator) to solve the problem.
Answer:
The answer is 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Change 120% into a decimal using the DP rule. D stands for decimal and P stands for percent. If you are trying to change a percent into a decimal then move the decimal spots two spaces to the right, but if you are changing a decimal into a percent then you move the decimal two spaces to the right. In this case we have to move the decimal two spaces to the left. Imagine in a percent that there is an imaginary decimal on the right of the 0 in 120 so when you move the decimal to the left it will become 1.20. Now multiply 1.20 and 33 which should give you an answer of 39.6 .
Put this into ratio form:
20 baskets/ 4 minutes.
This means for every 4 minutes, you can make 20 baskets.
Now solve for 1 minute...how many baskets can you make in one minute.
You can solve this in many ways:
1. Cross Multiply:
20/4 = x/1...20×1= 20 ÷ 4= 5 baskets per minute
2. Simplify- (simpler way to solve)
20 baskets ÷ 4 minutes= 5 baskets in 1 minute
3. Critical Thinking:
how many times can 4 go into 20? 5 times. So there are:
5 baskets per minute
