Carlos owns a rare stamp collection. there are 45 rare stamps in his collection. he wants to divide the stamps among his three children. he requested that the oldest child receives 4/5 of the collection, the middle child receives 1/10 of the collection and the youngest child receives 1/15 of the collection. his children met and tried to figure out how to distribute the stamps according to their father’s specification.

Alright let's take if from the beginning.Common denominators. 4/5 is the same as 8/10 but we also have 15ths so the common denominator is 30. This is because 5 goes into 30, 10 goes into 30, and 15 goes into 30. 4/5 = 8/10 = 24/30. That's the oldest child. The middle child gets 1/10th. That is 3/30ths. Then the youngest child gets 1/15th of the collection, which is 2/30ths. The oldest child receives 36 stamps. The middle child receives 4.5 stamps. And the youngest child receives 3 stamps.

(-0, -7) is your answer
