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

3) The foot of a ladder is 1.2 m from a fence
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: 4.5\ meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the data given in the exercise, we can draw the diagram attached, where "h" is the height of the building reached by the top of the ladder.

Notice that there are two similar triangles.

So, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{(1.2+1.8)}

Finally, in order to calculate the height on the building reached by the top of the ladder, you must solve for "h".

Therefore, the value of "h" is :

\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{3}\\\\(3)(\frac{1.8}{1.2})=h\\\\\frac{5.4}{1.2}=h\\\\h=4.5

crimeas [40]
Grouping is when you have to terms that are the same inside the parenthesis and a different or same number outside the parenthesis and then the one inside the parenthesis u are going to group them not combined them and write them once and the numbers inside the parenthesis group them together by adding them and put parenthesis between them

Ex
5(4x+1)10(4x+1)
(5+10)(4x+1)
