3 children painted a local park track of 5000m, Alex painted 70m, Dell painted 15m, and Tony painted 35m. This pattern continues to the end of the track. What percentage of the park did each child paint?
70 + 15 + 35 = 120
When we take 5000 divided by 120, we get:
41 remainder 80
So we have:
2870 + 70 = 2940
Dell goes next, and paints the last 10
615 + 10 = 625
Now for percentages:
70 + 15 + 35 = 120
When we take 5000 divided by 120, we get:
41 remainder 80
So we have:
- Alex: 70 * 41 = 2870
- Dell: 15 * 41 = 615
- Tony: 35 * 41 = 1435
2870 + 70 = 2940
Dell goes next, and paints the last 10
615 + 10 = 625
Now for percentages:
- Alex: 2940/5000 = 58.8%
- Dell: 625/5000 = 12.5%
- Tony: 1435/5000 = 28.7%
