Question

A) 1 2 /5 x 2 1 /7 ÷ 1 4 /5 =

b) After winning from a lottery were divided in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5, If the largest amount received was $150,000.xx


How much was:- i) The smallest amount = ii) The Total amount of prize money =

Answer 1

a) (Assuming it's
`(1(2)/(5) * 2(1)/(7) )/(1(4)/(5))`) he result is 1.

b) Smallest amount is $60,000. Total amount is $300,000.

Explanation:

a) Let's do!

`(1(2)/(5) * 2(1)/(7) )/(1(4)/(5))=((7)/(5) * (9)/(7) )/((9)/(5))=1\\`

b) Let's have the proportion 2:3:5, then the paid amounts were

2x, 3x and 5x (total amount 10x)

The largest amount: 5x = $150,000

Then x = $30,000

i) The smallest amount is 2x = $60,000

ii) The total amount is 10x = $300,000
