Here are the solutions to the problems:

5. Simplify:

25 of 52−2335÷412+13 of 25\frac{\frac{2}{5} \text{ of } \frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{5} \div 4\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} \text{ of } \frac{2}{5}}
  1. Simplify the numerator.

    First, calculate 25 of 52\frac{2}{5} \text{ of } \frac{5}{2}:

    25×52=1\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{2} = 1

    Now, subtract 23\frac{2}{3}:

    1−23=33−23=131 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

    The numerator is 13\frac{1}{3}.

  2. Simplify the denominator.

    First term: 35÷412\frac{3}{5} \div 4\frac{1}{2}
    Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 412=4×2+12=924\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}.
    Now perform the division:

    35÷92=35×29=645=215\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{9}{2} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{45} = \frac{2}{15}

    Second term: 13 of 25\frac{1}{3} \text{ of } \frac{2}{5}

    13×25=215\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{15}

    Now, add the two terms:

    215+215=415\frac{2}{15} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{4}{15}

    The denominator is 415\frac{4}{15}.

  3. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    13415=13×154=1512=54\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{4}{15}} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{15}{4} = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4}

    The simplified expression is 54\boxed{\frac{5}{4}}.

    6. Find the equation of a line which passes through the point (2,3)(2, 3) and is perpendicular to y=3x−1y = 3x - 1. Giving your answer in the double intercepts form.

  4. Find the slope of the given line.

    The given line is y=3x−1y = 3x - 1. The slope of this line, m1m_1, is 3.

  5. Find the slope of the perpendicular line.

    If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is −1-1. Let the slope of the required line be m2m_2.

    m1×m2=−1m_1 \times m_2 = -1 3×m2=−13 \times m_2 = -1 m2=−13m_2 = -\frac{1}{3}
  6. Find the equation of the line using the point-slope form.

    The line passes through (2,3)(2, 3) and has a slope of m2=−13m_2 = -\frac{1}{3}.
    The point-slope form is y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1).

    y−3=−13(x−2)y - 3 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 2)

    Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

    3(y−3)=−1(x−2)3(y - 3) = -1(x - 2) 3y−9=−x+23y - 9 = -x + 2

    Rearrange the terms to get the standard form Ax+By=CAx + By = C:

    x+3y=2+9x + 3y = 2 + 9 x+3y=11x + 3y = 11
  7. Convert the equation to the double intercepts form.

    The double intercepts form is xa+yb=1\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1. To achieve this, divide the entire equation by the constant term (11):

    x11+3y11=1111\frac{x}{11} + \frac{3y}{11} = \frac{11}{11} x11+y113=1\frac{x}{11} + \frac{y}{\frac{11}{3}} = 1

    The equation of the line in double intercepts form is x11+y113=1\boxed{\frac{x}{11} + \frac{y}{\frac{11}{3}} = 1}.

    7. George received 10,000 Euros from his brother who stays in France. He sent to his brother who stays in Japan 10,000 Yen. In addition, George bought a car worth sh. 200,000. Exchange rates are given: 1 Euro: Buying 73.4226, Selling 73.52953; 100 Japanese yen: Buying 62.8011, Selling 62.8822. How much was left?

    Assume "sh." refers to Kenyan Shillings (KES).

  8. Calculate the amount George received in KES from Euros.

    George received 10,000 Euros. This means George is selling Euros to the bank, so the bank is buying Euros from George. We use the bank's buying rate for Euros.
    Amount received = 10,000 Euros×73.4226 KES/Euro10,000 \text{ Euros} \times 73.4226 \text{ KES/Euro}
    Amount received = 734,226 KES734,226 \text{ KES}

  9. Calculate the cost in KES to send 10,000 Japanese Yen.

    George is sending 10,000 Yen. This means George needs to buy Yen from the bank, so the bank is selling Yen to George. We use the bank's selling rate for Yen.
    The rate is 62.8822 KES for 100 Japanese Yen.
    Cost per 1 Japanese Yen = 62.8822 KES100 JPY=0.628822 KES/JPY\frac{62.8822 \text{ KES}}{100 \text{ JPY}} = 0.628822 \text{ KES/JPY}
    Cost to send 10,000 JPY = 10,000 JPY×0.628822 KES/JPY10,000 \text{ JPY} \times 0.628822 \text{ KES/JPY}
    Cost to send 10,000 JPY = 6,288.22 KES6,288.22 \text{ KES}

  10. Calculate the total amount George spent.

    Cost of sending Yen = 6,288.22 KES
    Cost of buying car = 200,000 KES
    Total spent = 6,288.22+200,000=206,288.22 KES6,288.22 + 200,000 = 206,288.22 \text{ KES}

  11. Calculate the amount of money left.

    Money left = Amount received - Total spent
    Money left = 734,226 KES−206,288.22 KES734,226 \text{ KES} - 206,288.22 \text{ KES}
    Money left = 527,937.78 KES527,937.78 \text{ KES}

    The amount of money left is 527,937.78 KES\boxed{527,937.78 \text{ KES}}.
