Answer:
£39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Gavyn's share = x
Since, Sarah gets £26 more than Gavyn.
Sarah's Share = x+26
Equating the Ratio of their Shares and the actual sum received
x+26 : x = 5:3
Converting to Fractions
Cross multiply
5x=3(x+26)
5x=3x+78
5x-3x=78
2x=78
Divide both sides by 2
x=39
Therefore: Gavyn's share x = £39
To work this one out, you want to divide 10 1/2 by 3/4 right? So to do that, you want to change 10 1/2 to an improper fraction (21/2) and multiply it by 3/4’s reciprocal (4/3) and use cancellation to get the answer 14. Attached is an example of how to work it out on paper.
