2 of 6 Gavin & Henry share a lottery win of £8800 in the ratio 4: 1.
Gavin then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 1:6:3.
How much more does his wife get over their son?

£2112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Gavin's share, sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 1 = 5 parts

Divide the win by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£8800 ÷ 5 = £1760 ← value of 1 part of ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × £1760 = £7040 ← Gavin's share

Now repeat the process with the ratio for his family

1 + 6 + 3 = 10 parts

£7040 ÷ 10 = £704 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

6 × £704 = £4224 ← wife's share

3 × £704 = £2112 ← son's share

Difference = £4224 - £2112 = £2112

Thus his wife gets £2112 more than the son

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

c.

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
