Answer:

Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of Lottery = £2950

Now Given:

Stephen & Richard share a lottery amount in the ratio 2 : 3

Let the common factor between them be 'x'.

So we can say that;

2x+3x=2950\\\\5x = 2950

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2950}{5}\\\\x = 590

So we can say that;

Stephen share would be = 2x =2\times 590 = \£1180

Now Given:

Stephen then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 3 : 5 : 2.

Let the common factor between them be 'y'.

So we can say that;

3y+5y+2y=1180\\\\10y=1180

Dividing both side by 10 we get;

\frac{10y}{10}=\frac{1180}{10}\\\\y=118

So Stephen's wife share = 5y = 5\times 118= \£590

And Stephen's son share = 2y=2\times118 =\£236

Now we need to find how much more her wife got then her son.

To find how much more her wife got than her son we will subtract Stephen's son share from Stephen's wife share.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount more her wife got than her son = 590-236 = \£354

Hence Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

A farmer wants to plant peas and carrots on no more than 400 acres of his farm. If x represents the number of acres of peas and
levacccp [35]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It doesn't make sense for either x or y to be negative because we are talking about x representing the number of acres and y representing another number of acres and that they should add up to no more than 400.

So I'm not going to look at A or C.

B looks good 250+150=400

D almost looks good 1+400=401; the problem with this answer is that is more than 400
