Bo paid bills with 1/2 of his paycheck and put 1/5 of the remainders in saving. the rest of his paycheck he divided equally among the college accounts of his 3 children. what fraction of his paycheck went into each child's accounts?

Hey there!

Consider the fact that, in this case, Bo's paycheck is equal to 1 whole part. This is what we will use to subtract each fraction from. 

First, we can subtract the fractions that go towards bills and savings. Remember that savings was done after the bills were paid. 




Now, you can find, of 3 tenths, how much each of the three children get. We could write it out, but it's obvious that each child will get one tenth of the check, considering that there are three tenths to split between each one. 

Your answer is . 

Hope this helped you out! :-) 

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

answer: the function g(x) has the greatest slope.
