Answer:

One receives £5 and the other, £15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount available to share is £20. Sharing at the rate of £5 to one and £15 to the other gives the following:

The ratio of 5 / 15 = 1 / 3 because 15 divided by 5 is 3.

The total is 5 + 15 = 20

A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 100 kilometers going upstream. The return trip takes
tatuchka [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say b is the rate of the boat in still water, and c is the rate of the current.

Distance = rate × time

Going upstream:

100 = (b − c) (5)

20 = b − c

Going downstream:

100 = (b + c) (2)

50 = b + c

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using elimination, add the equations together:

70 = 2b

b = 35

c = 15

The boat's speed is 35 km/h, and the current's speed is 15 km/h.
