Question

Ivan and tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 how much more ivan gets compared to tanya

Answer 1

Answer:

Given statement: Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1

let the number be x.

Then, the share of Ivan be 4x and the share of Tanya be x.

From the given scenario,

the equation that would best represent the given will be;

$4x+x =\£150$

Combine like terms;

$5x =\£150$

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{\£150}{5}$

Simplify:

x =£30

Then,

the share of Ivan is, 4x = $4 \cdot 30 =\£120$

and the share of Tanya is, x =£30

Therefore, £90 more Ivan gets compared to Tanya.

Answer 2

4+1=5
150/5=30

4*30=120
1*30=30
120-30=90

Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya.
