AI Thread Summary
To determine the total money for John, Mike, and Felix, John's share is calculated as 2/5 of SGD 24,000, resulting in SGD 9,600. Mike's share, being half of John's money, amounts to SGD 4,800. Felix's share, which is one-third of Mike's money, totals SGD 1,600. The corrected total sum of their money is SGD 9,600 + SGD 4,800 + SGD 1,600, equaling SGD 16,000. A simpler ratio approach could streamline these calculations.

hello all.

my question :

John's money = 2/5 from SGD24000
Mike's money = 1/2 from John's money
Felix's money = 1/3 from Mike's money

determine all (sum) money them?

i have tried :

for John's money = 24000 x 5/2 = 60.000
for Mike's money = 1/2 x 60000 = 30000
for Felix's money = 1/3 x 60000 = 10000

sum of total money = 60000+30000+10000 = 100000

do you have more simple step/formula? maybe with ratio approach..

thanks..

What does that mean?

Also: 1/3 * 60000 = 20000, NOT 10000

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
