Hi experts,

then what times john's money then Robert 's money.

John's money is 500 and Robert's money is 800. \(\displaystyle 800= \frac{800}{500}(500)\) So John's money is \(\displaystyle \frac{800}{500}= \frac{8}{5}\) times Robert's money.

Qus2) If John's money is 500 and Robert 's money is 800.
then what times Robert's money then John 's money.

\(\displaystyle 500= \frac{500}{800}(800)\) so Robert's money is \(\displaystyle \frac{500}{800}= \frac{5}{8}\) times John's money.
