if Malachy gets £44 then Paul get $55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malachy and Paul win some money and share it in the ratio = 4:5

if Malachy gets £44 we need to find how much did Paul get?

let Paul get x so, we will have

4:5=44:x

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{44}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve:

$4x=44*5\\x=\frac{44*5}{4}\\x=55$

So, Paul get $55

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28. What are the integers?

Fantom [35]

The correct option is B): "<span>Let x = 1st integer. Let x + 2 = 2nd integer.</span><span>"
Given that "The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 28."

Now the difference between two odd numbers is 2. So this means that one odd number has to be greater than the other by 2.

Let the smaller number be 'X' therefore the bigger number will be 'x+2' thus x + (x+2) = 28

therefore, x + x + 2 = 28 now we subtract "2" from both the sides
therefore, 2x = 26 now dividing throughout by 2 we get:

x = 13 therefore, x + 2 = 13+2
= 15

therefore, the numbers are 13 AND 15</span>
