Now we need to get the multiplier. Divide 13/8 to the total number of square meter of land that the 3 people will share. It is already given that there are 100 square meters of land. So:
100 ÷ 13/8 = 100 × 8/13 = 800/13
800/13 will be our multiplier. Multiply this to each of the three people.
Anna = 1/2 × 800/13 = 400/13 or approximately 30.7692 square meters
Joy = 3/8 × 800/13 = 300/13 or approximately 23.0769 square meters
John = 3/4 × 800/13 = 600/13 or approximately 46.1538 square meters
First, add the ratio of each of the 3 people.
Anna = 1/2
Joy = 3/8
John = 3/4
1/2 + 3/8 + 3/4 = 4/8 + 3/8 + 6/8
= 13/8
Now we need to get the multiplier. Divide 13/8 to the total number of square meter of land that the 3 people will share. It is already given that there are 100 square meters of land. So:
100 ÷ 13/8 = 100 × 8/13 = 800/13
800/13 will be our multiplier. Multiply this to each of the three people.
Anna = 1/2 × 800/13 = 400/13 or approximately 30.7692 square meters
Joy = 3/8 × 800/13 = 300/13 or approximately 23.0769 square meters
John = 3/4 × 800/13 = 600/13 or approximately 46.1538 square meters
answer:
improper fraction: 19/3
whole fraction: 6 1/3
