A Number of cub scouts in troop 584 is = 25 .As per the statement given in the question "The number of scouts is 5 more than five times the number of adult leaders"

Number of scouts = 5(Number of adults) + 5

Here number of scouts = 25

Therefore, the equation will become as

25 = 5(Number of adults) + 5

5(Number of adults) = 25 - 5

5(Number of adults) = 20

(Number of adults) = 20/5=4

Hence the number of the adult leaders will be 4

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

shusha [124]

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.
