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.

If y varies inversely as x, and y = 10 when x = 20,<br> find x when y = 16.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x.

y = k/x

10 = k/20

200 = k

The constant proportion k is 200.

16 = 200/x

Cross multiply.

200 = 16x

200/16 = x

x = 12.5

If 1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers, how many kilometers are there in 50 miles
Alik [6]

kilometers and miles are units used to measure distance.

1 mile is equal to 1.61 km

so if 1 mile is equivalent to 1.61 km

then to see how many kilometers are there in 50 miles we have to multiply 50 miles by 1.61 km/mile

therefore the number of km in miles is - 50 miles x 1.61 km/mile = 80.5 km

distance in km - 80.5 km
