When you rewrite an expression, we are simplifying it. We first use the distributive property through any groupings symbols, then evaluate terms we exponent that are given. Lastly, we combine any like terms, weather they are constants or variables.

Hope this helps! :)

Colin & Brian share a lottery win of £2100 in the ratio 4 : 1. Colin then shares his part between himself, his wife & th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets $\frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5}$ of the prize.

$\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680$

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets $\frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}$ , his wife gets $\frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10}$ and his son gets $\frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}$

Wife:

$\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840$

His wife got $840.

Son:

$\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504$

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.
