Let X = 0.3686868....

1000X = 368.686868....

10X = 3.686868....

1000X -10X = 368.686868.... - 3.686868....

990X = 365
X = 365/990 = 73/198

Pls post P6 Maths question on Q&A - PSLE Math

After Jack gave 1/3 of the total amount of money he had to Tom , he left 2/3 of his money . Jack --> 2u and he gave 1u to Tom

In the end
Jack 2u
Tom 2u

Before Jack gave 1/3 (1u) of the total amount of money he had to Tom
Jack 3u
Tom 1u

After Tom gave 1/4 of his money to Jack , he left 3/4 of his money.
3/4 --> 1u , as 1u is not divisible by 3 , change Tom 1u --> 1u*3 = 3u and Jack 3u --> 3u*3 = 9u

New ratio
Jack 9u
Tom 3u

3/4 --> 3u
1/4 -->1u
Tom gave 1/4 (1u) of his money to Jack

At first
Jack 8u
Tom 4u

8u + 4U --> 1440
12u --> 1440
1u -->120

Jack
8u --> 8*120 = 960

Tom
4u --> 4*120 = 480

Question:

It is given that A=h(4m+1/3r).

Find the exact value of A when h is 20m, m is 1/5 and r is -7.

I assume 1/3r as (1/3)r and not 1/(3r)

A
=h[4m+(1/3)r]
=20m[4m+(1/3)r]
=20(1/5)[4(1/5) + (1/3)(-7)]
=4(4/5 - 7/3)
=4( 12/15 - 35/15 )
=4 (- 23/15)
= - 92/15
= - 6 2/15
