The answer is C. (3 1/4 cups) :)
Given:
Total tips = $ 77.40
Ratio of tips sharing = 2 : 3 : 4
To find:
How much more does Brian get over Paul
Solution:
Let 2x, 3x and 4x be the cost of tips got by Paul, Colin and Brian.
Total cost of tips =$ 77.40
2x + 3x + 4x = 77.40
9x = 77.40
Divide by 9 on both sides.
x = 8.6
Brian gets = 4(8.6) = $34.4
Paul gets = 2(8.6) = $17.2
Difference = 34.4 - 17.2
= 17.2
Therefore Brian gets $17.2 more than Paul.
I am sorry I cannot solve this problem.
However, I have a tip: if you are gonna give
problems as hard as these, you might wanna offer more than just 5 points. Or you can just waste your points and get a zillion non-helpful answers like this one.

Answer:
m=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
just to make this easier ill subtract 2 from each side to get
2/3m = 1/6m -5
now multiply each side by 6 to get rid of denominators (this just makes it easier)
now in the next steps we simplify
4m = 1m -30
3m= -30
m=-10
