Answer:
<em>In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Division by Sharing</u>
A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.
The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i.e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6= $7.50 apiece.
The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.
By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.
We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money
That is true, I don,t quite know how to explain it but I just did this problem yesterday.
Hello there!
We can use the following expression:
$426 ÷ $48 = d
Hope this helps! Tell me if I'm wrong!

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:
Answer: Bradley scored 854 points and Harner scored 748 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by representing the problem mathematically. "B" will represent Bradley's score, and "H" will represent Harner's score.
B+H=1602 represents that the sum of the scores is 1602.
B-H=106 represents that Bradley has 106 more points than Harner.
Now, combine the like terms in the two equations to get 2B=1708 . Now divide each side by two to find that Bradley scored 854 points.
Now, we can just subtract Bradley's score from the total score to get Harner's score. 1602-854=748, so Harner scored 748 points.
