Answer:

Sam will get £30 while Bethan will get £24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio shared by Sam and Bethan is 5+4 = 9

1 share ratio is the total amount involved divided by the total ratio

That is, £54/9 = £6

if 1 share ratio is £6,

Sam with 5 share ratio will get £6*5 = £30

while Bethan with ratio 4 wiill get £6*4 = £24

Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel are among 13 students who entered a lottery to win a free vacation to Paris.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the students are chosen is not important, so the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

Desired outcomes:

4 students from a set of 4(Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel). So

$D = C_{4,4} = \frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!} = 1$

Total outcomes:

4 students from a set of 13(number of students in the lottery). So

$T = C_{13,4} = \frac{13!}{4!(13-4)!} = 715$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{715} = 0.0014$

0.0014 = 0.14% probability that Ashley, Bob, Claire, and Daniel will be chosen.

If he uses 1 quarter, he has 40 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways, by using 2 dimes andall four nickels, or all 3 dimes snd 2 nickels.That's 2 ways.
If he uses both quarters, he has 15 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways by using 1 dime and 1 nickel,or no dimes and 3 nickels.That's 2 more ways. So there are four ways to make 65 cents.
