Answer:

$17.20

Explanation:

To easily get the ratio figured out between Paul, Colin and Brian, try seeing how much the ratio adds up to. With 2:3:4, there is a total of 9; so take 1/9th of 77.40 to get $8.60

You can convert these ratios to fractions, with Paul getting 2/9ths, Colin getting 3/9ths and Brian getting 4/9ths

As Brian is effectively getting double the amount of money, you can just take the amount Paul is getting in tips and use that as the reference for how much Brian is earning which is $8.60 x 2 or in this case, $17.20

This gave 160 acres of land to new settlers out on the great plains so long as they "improved it.
exis [7]

The Homestead Act of 1862 gave 160 acres of land in the Great Plains in the western United States.  The law was signed on May 20, 1862, by  President Abraham Lincoln. The Homestead Act encouraged migration and opened up settlements to any American, including freed slaves, to own, use and improve the land.


The law required that the new settlers will have to pay a minimal filing fee and to live continuously on the land for five years for them to receive full ownership of the land.


By 1865 (the end of the Civil War), there were 15,000 homestead claims that have been established, with more following in the subsequent years.
