Answer:

The wife gets £468 over the son

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.

The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4

Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560

Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.

The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10

The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936

The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468

The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468

The lights go out, your bedroom is pitch dark, yet you still need to find a pair of socks, in your drawer there is 25 white sock
Lerok [7]

Answer: At most 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 25 white socks and 25 red socks, a matching pair would be picked in at most 3 times.

The first sock you pick would be either White or Red

The second sock you pick would be either white or red again which means that you now either have 2 whites, 2 reds or 1 white and 1 red.

The third sock you pick will either be white or red once more. At this point you will either have 3 whites, 3 reds, 2 whites and 1 red or 2 reds and 1 white.

You will therefore have at least a matching pair after 3 tries.
