the ratio of fionas savings to Fredas savings is 2 to 5.if fiona has 1200 dollars, how much must freda give to her so that they each have the same amount of money.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "2:5 is the same as 2x:5x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Fiona has 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Fredas has 5x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5x = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "x = 171.43
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Fiona has 2x = 2*171.43 = 342.86
\n" ); document.write( "Fredas has 5x = 5*171.43 = 857.15
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Note: If each has $600 they will have equal amounts.
\n" ); document.write( "Fredas should give 857.15-600 = 257.15 to Fiona
