Answer:

£72

Step-by-step explanation:

let Malachy amount be x then Gordon's is 3x and Sara is 2 × 3x = 6x

Then

x + 3x + 6x = 10x = £240 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = £24

Gordon gets 3x = 3 × £24 = £72

Gordon gets £72

Explanation:
Sarah gets twice as much as Gordon and Gordon gets three times as much as Malachy, which means that Malachy gets 1 part of the money, Gordon gets 3 parts because he has three times as much as Malachy, and Sarah gets 6 because she gets twice as much as Gordon. As a ratio from Sarah to Gordon to Malachy its 6:3:1. All of that adds up to £240. If u add 6+3+1 it gives you 10. 240/10 is £24. And Gordon has 3 parts so you do 3x24 which gives you £72

What is the value of n?<br><br> 40= -5n/8<br><br> n=________
vodka [1.7K]
40 = -5 × \frac{n}{8}

First, simplify 5 × \frac{n}{8} to \frac{5n}{8} / Your problem should look like: 40 = -\frac{5n}{8}
Second, multiply both sides by 8. / Your problem should look like: 320 = -5n
Third, divide both sides by -5. / Your problem should look like: \frac{320}{-5} = n
Fourth, simplify \frac{320}{-5} to - \frac{320}{5} / Your problem should look like: -\frac{320}{5} = n
Fifth, simplify \frac{320}{5} to 64. / Your problem should look like: -64 = n
Sixth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: n = -64

Answer: n = -64
