Answer:
Money made by you =$55
Money made by your friend = $33
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of the amount of money you make to the amount of money your friend makes = 5:3
The total amount made = $88
To find money made by each of them using tape diagrams.
Solution:
The tape diagram for the given situation is shown below.
Money mad by you is represented by 5 rectangles
Money mad by your friend is represented by 3 rectangles
Total number of rectangles = [tex]5+3[/tex] = 8
Thus, 8 rectangle represent a total of $88.
We have
[tex]8\ rectangles =\$88[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 8, we have:
[tex]\frac{8}{8}\ rectangles =\$\frac{88}{8}[/tex]
[tex]1\ rectangle =\$11[/tex]
So, money made by you will be:
[tex]5\ rectangles =5\times \$11=\$55[/tex]
Money made by your friend will be:
[tex]3\ rectangle =3\times \$11=\$33[/tex]
