Question

2/5 of the money raised at a charity even is given to local hospital. The hospital spends 3/4 of their money on a new xray machine. What fraction of the total money raised by the charity was spent on the xray machine

Answer 1

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total money raised by charity be x

which mean 2/5*x was given to local hospital

the hospital spent 3/4th of the money given to them to by a new x ray machine which means the hospital spended 3/4*2/5*x of the total money

which is 6/20*x

simplifying further

3/10 of total money

hope it helped you and have a nice day

Answer 2

Fraction of money given to hospital=2/5

Fraction of money spent by hospital on new x-ray machine=3/4

Fraction of total money spent on x-ray machine=2/5*3/4=3/10
