Janine and Jella are owners of small textile stores. Janine sold 1/8 of her stock yesterday. Jella sold 5/6 of hers.
a. Assume a total of 400 yards for Janine and 300 yards for Jella in stock. Who sold more?
b. Assume that Janine and Jella own only one store, what part of their total stock did Janine sell and what part of their total stock did Jella sell?
c. Of the total stock of their stores combined, add the part that Janine soldand the part thay Jella sold. Find the part of the total stock sold. Asap please...
Answer:
a. Janine has 400 yards, she sold 1/8
Jella has 300, she sold 5/6
400 yards x 1/8 300 yards x 5/6
400/8 yards 1500/6 yards
50 yards 250 yards
Jella sold more.
b.Consider their own stocks as part of one business. Janine 1/8 and Jella 5/6
Get their LCM to even out their portions using their LCD
8 - 8 16 24 32
6 - 6 12 18 24
Thus, 24 is the LCD. Use this as the denominator for both.
1/8 is 3/24 (this is the total stocks Janine sold)
5/6 is 20/24 (this is the total stocks Jella sold)
c. Refer to letter Bs answer as basis here
3/24 Janine, 20/24 Jella
Add both to get total stocks sold
3/24 + 20/24 = 23/24 (This is your total socks from both sellers combined)
