Sam and Bethan share £54 in the ratio of 5:4 work out how much each gets

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:
Sam gets £30 and Bethan gets £24.
Why?
When dealing with ratios, add up the numbers in the ratio.
5 + 4 = 9
Now, divide the total amount of money by that number.
£54/9 = 6
Now you have the base rate. Multiply each quantity in the ratio by this number.
5*6 = 30
4*6 = 24
Now, the ratio is (in euro) 30:24. This means that Sam has £30 and Bethan has £24.
Check:
30 + 24 = 54

2 pieces of squid = $3.50
Therefore 1 piece of squid = $1.75 (3.50÷2)

1 piece of eel = $3.25

3 pieces of tuna = $6.75
Therefore 1 piece of tuna = $2.25 (6.75÷3)

4 pieces of crab = $8.00
Therefore 1 piece of crab = $2 (8÷4)

Put them in order of price and you get

$1.75 , $2 , $2.25 , $3.25
