Considering how the sandwiches were shared equally, how did Mario indend the money to be divided?
Favorite Answer
Diedra eats her 8 and has one left over
david eats his 8 and has 7 left over
Diedra gets 50 cents
david gets $3.50
Deidra gives Mario a 1/3 of a sandwich (leaving her her 2 and 2/3), meaning for Mario to have his share, David gives him 2 and 1/3.
The ratio of 2 1/3 to 1/3 is 7 to 1, so
7x + 1x = $4.00
8x = 4.00
x = .50
Deidra gets .50 and David gets 3.50.
mario intended an equal division of money
math consideration:
mario ate 2 2/3 of the total 8 sanwiches and paid $4.00 for these
3/8 of the sandwiches are from deidra so 3/8*$4 = $1.50
5/8 from David makes 5/8*$4 = $2.50
Deidra: $1
