Question

14

Answer 1

Answer:

Gerrard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the size of each poster be $x$

Eve's poster portion painted will be

$=\frac{1}{6}\times x\\=\frac{x}6}$

Gerrard's painted portion will be:

$=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\=\frac{x}{5}$

From the two inequalities, we find that $\frac{x}{5}$ is greater than $\frac{x}{6}$  by x/30

$\frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{6}\\=\frac{x}{30}$

hence Gerrard has the larger blue section. His portion is 16.67% greater than Eve's
