Which of the following is larger than 3/5?
3/5 = 6/10, 1/2 = 5/10, 39/50 = 7.8/10, 59/100 = 5.9/10
7.8/10>6/10. so, 39/50> 3/5.
When Rs 250 added to 1/4th of a given amount of money makes it smaller than 1/3rd of the given amount of money by Rs 100. What is the given amount of money?
Let the given amount be Rs x A.T.S. x/3-(x/4 + 250) = 100⇒ x = Rs 4200
A boy was asked to find the value of 7/12 of a sum of money. Instead of multiplying the sum by 7/12, he divided it by 7/12 and thus his answer exceeded the correct value by Rs.95. Find the correct value?
Let sum = Rs. K
∴ 12/7 k – 7k/12 = 95
— > 144k – 49k/84 = 95
— > k = 84
∴ 7/12 k — > 7/12 * 84 = Rs. 49
Eight people are planning to share equally the cost of a rental car , if one person withdraws from the arrangement and the others share equally the entire cost of the car, then the share of each of the remaining persons increased by?
Original share of one person = 1/8
2 trees are there. One grows at 3/5 of the other. In 4 years total growth of the trees is 8 ft. what growth will smaller tree have in 2 years?.
THE BIG TREE GROWS 8FT IN 4 YEARS=>THE BIG TREE GROWS 4FT IN 2 YEARS.WHEN WE DIVIDE 4FT/5=.8*3=>2.4
4 (x+(3/5)x)=88x/5=2x=5/4 after 2 years x=(3/5)*(5/4)*2 =1.5
In a pair of fractions, fraction A is twice the fraction B and the product of two fractions is 2/25. What is the value of fraction A ?
A = 2B ; B= 1/2A. So, AB = 2/25
(1/2)A2 = 2/25 ; A2 = 4/25
A = 2/5
A fraction in which nominator is 4 less than denominator. When 10 is added to the denominator the fraction becomes 1/8.What is the original fraction?
Let nominator be x, denominator be x+4 and fraction be y.
then y = x/x+4 on adding 10 to denominator y = 1/8
=> x/x+14 = 1/8
=> x = 2
Therefore y = 2/6
x% of y is y% of ?
x% of y = (x/100)*y = (y/100)*x = y% of x
So, x is the answer.
Express the 4% as a fraction.
4/100 =1/25 = 0.04
The difference between the numerator and the denominator of a fraction is 5. If 5 is added to its denominator, the fraction is decreased by 1 ¼ . Find the value of the fraction.
Let the denominator be x. Then, numerator = x+5
Now (x+5)/x – (x+5)/(x+5) = 5/4 + 1 = 9/4 = 2 ¼
So, the fraction is 2 ¼
