Answer:

Will's share = 48

Olly's share = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Will's share : Olly's share = 3:2

Will's share = 3x

Olly's share = 2x

3x + 2x = £ 80 {Combine like terms}

5x = 80 {Divide both sides by 5}

x = 80/5

x = 16

Will's share = 3x = 3*16 = 48

Olly's share = 2x = 2*16 = 32

Answer:

D. $\frac{79}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigg( \frac{7}{2} - \frac{1}{3} \bigg).( - 2)^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \bigg( \frac{7 \times 3 - 1 \times 2}{2 \times 3} \bigg).4 + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \bigg( \frac{21 - 2}{6} \bigg).4 + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{19}{6} \times 4 + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{19}{3} \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{38}{3} + \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{38 \times 2 + 1 \times 3}{3 \times 2} \\ \\ = \frac{76 + 3}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{79}{6}$
