7 0

Answer:

£1000, £1400

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio 5 + 7 = 12 parts

Divide the amount by 12 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£2400 ÷ 12 = £200, thus

5 parts = 5 × £200 = £1000

7 parts = 7 × £200 = £1400

Theoretically, if a month is chosen 300 times,

horsena [70]

Answer:

75 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well there are 12 months and 3 of them start with the letter J, so theoretically, 25% of the months chosen will start with the letter J because $\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$ , which is 25%. 25% of 300 (or $\frac{300}{4}$ , for those who like fractions) is 75, so theoretically, we can expect a month that starts with the letter J 75 times.
