Question

Can someone please explain to me.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 4.50 B. 1 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

First, think of Toby's money as 1/6x (x referring to the total amount of money) and Daoud's money as 1/2x.

It states that Toby gets 1.50, which means that 1/6x = 1.50.

To find what x is, multiply both sides by 6.

1/6x * 6 = 1.50 * 6

x = 9

Now that we know how much money there is in total, we can solve for Daoud's money. Daoud has 1/2x. We can substitute x for 9 and solve for Daoud's money.

1/2(9)

4.50

Daoud has 4.50.

B.

The problem states that Elsa gets the remaining money.

9 - (1.50 + 4.50)

9 - 6

3

Elsa gets 3.00.

Now, you can use turn solve the ratio of Toby's money and Elsa's money.

1.5 : 3

The problem states that they have to be whole numbers, so you can change the ratio to fit the requirements.

1 : 3
