"950 feet in 19 minutes" can be expressed as the rate (950/19) (ft/min), and is negative because the diver is descending (going downward).
Simplifying, -950/19 (ft/min) = -50 (ft/min)
X=2 shown in the work below.
<h3>
Answer: $628 </h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
x = Ali's share
4x = Pip's share, because it is four times bigger due to the ratio 4:1
x+4x = 5x = total amount of money = 785
5x = 785
x = 785/5
x = 157 dollars is Ali's share
4x = 4*157 = 628 dollars is Pip's share
Note that 157+628 = 785 to help confirm the answer.
4^4 * 4^3
------------
4^5
= 4^7 / 4^5
= 4^(7-5)
= 4^2 = 16 Answer
