I assume you want to mathematically represent the above
Answer and explanation:
If Diego collected x kg of recycling and Lin collected 2/5 more than what Diego collected, then it would be represented mathematically thus:
Diego = x
Lin = x +2/5 of x= x+2/5x
if Lin biked x km and Diego biked 3/10km less than Lin, then we would represent this thus:
Lin=x
Diego= x-3/10 of x= x-3/10x
If Diego reads for x minutes and Lin reads 4/7 of what Diego read, then mathematically we represent this thus:
Diego=x
Lin =4/7 of x = 4/7x
