Fractions and Decimals
There are two fractions such that fraction X is thrice the fraction Y and their product is 25/12. Which of the following is equal to Y?
Let X and Y are given fractions.Given that, fraction X is thrice the fraction Y;i.e., X = 3Y ...(1)And their product = X x Y = 25/12Sub. eqn (1) in above,(3Y)x(Y) = 25/123(Y²) = 25/12(Y²) = 25/36Y = 5/6Hence the required fraction is 5/6.
We have to find, the value of 4/7 of 560 - 5/8 of 400.4/7 x 560 - 5/8 x 400 = (4 x 80) - (5 x 50) = 320 - 250 = 70Hence, four-seventh of 560 is greater than five-eighth of 400 by 70.
