Fiona and Pip win some money and share it in the ratio 6:1. Fiona gets £35 more than Pip. How much did they get altogether?


Let Pip get be x and fiona get be x+35
Ratio = 6:1





We know that the area is 20.
Since 20 is a small number: lets list out possible combinations of lengths and widths.
1 * 20
2 * 10
4 * 5
L = 7 + 3w
lets see which on makes sense.
L = 7 + 3w
20 = w7 + 3w^2
3w^2 + 7w -20 = 0
(3w - 10)(w - 2)
w can equal 10/3 or 2.
So the dimensions: are Width = 2 Length = 10
As 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9 = 4/12
and 2/6 is greater than 1/6
3/9 is greater than 2/9
etc..
So
1/3 is greater than 1/6 ; 2/9 ; ...
I presume you're talking about number 3?
Solution
I = prt (I being the interest)
I =

I = 1,250$
