Question 1038679: a salesmen earns 5 times as much in July and 3 times as much in august as in each of the remaining months of the years. What fraction does his entire year's earnings does he earn in July and august together? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
He earns 1 share of his earnings in each of the other 10 months, 5 shares in July and 3 shares in August for a total of 18 shares. So he earns 5/18 of his income in July and 3/18 of his income in August. Add 5/18 to 3/18 and reduce.
