Answer 1

• Paulo has R$45.00 and Carlos has 5/9 of that amount. How many Carlos has? How many do the two have together?

We are given –

• Paulo has R$45.00 and Carlos has 5/9 of that amount.

We are asked to find, how much Carlos owns and how much they have together.

Step-by-step explanation :-

At first, we just need to multiply 45 by 5, and then we will divide the value by 9, so we find that:

`\qquad`
`\bf \longrightarrow 45 * 5 = 225`

`\qquad`
`\bf \longrightarrow (225)/(9) = 25`

• Therefore, we find that Carlos has 25 R$.

Now to find out how much they have together. We have to add Paul's amount to Carlos' amount for that.

`\qquad`
`\bf \longrightarrow 25 + 45 = 70`

• Henceforth, they both have 70 R$. together.
