Question

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three pirates split a treasure. Redbeard takes 70 percent of the treasure, and whitebeard and bluebeard split the rest in a 4:3 ratio. Compute white beard's part of the treasure as a simplified fraction of the total.

Answer 1

⁶/₃₅

Explanation:

If Redbeard takes 70 %, Whitebeard and Bluebeard must split the remaining 30 % (³/₁₀) of the treasure

If they split in a 4:3 ratio, Whitebeard gets ⁴/₇ of the 30 % and Bluebeard gets ³/₇.

Whitebeard's share is ⁴/₇(³/₁₀) = ²/₇(⅗) = ⁶/₃₅ of the total
