Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
$315, i cant give a thorough explanation since i did it all in my head but basically amal gets 5 portions of the money and Salma gets 9, meaning she gets 4 more, so if 4 portions is $252 then it cant be any of the others since they are too low or way too high, $315 is the only reasonable one.
No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3
