Answer:
Runner-up: $15,000
Winner: $75,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation for this problem.
Let x=the amount the runner-up receives
Let 5x=the amount the winner receives
Then,
x+5x=90,000
6x=90,000
x=15,000
5x=75,000
Yes they are both equivalents because they are whole's and some examples would be 8/8,9/9,4/4. and 5/5 because they are all whole's 7 out of 7 pieces of pizza is the whole pizza.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pru, Piper, Phoebe ratio 5:3:4vadded = 12
What this means is Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total amount, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices.
pru = piper + 24
5/12x = 3/12x + 24
5/12x - 3/12x = 24
2/12x = 24
x = 24 / (1/6)
x = 24 * 6
x = 144 spices in total
Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices
Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices
Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices
I hope this can help.
