Sam and Beth share £54 in the ration 5:4. Work out how much each person gets.

Sam: £30

Beth: £24

Step-by-step explanation:

5/9 × 54 = 30

4/9 × 54 = 24

Same gets £30 and Beth gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of sam to beth is 5 : 4

add 5 + 4 = 9 . this value will be the denominator

= 5/9 * 54

= £ 30

Sam will get £ 30

add 4 + 5 = 9 . this value will be the denominator

Note : when using ratios the denominators  will be the same. (eg the                    denominator of 9 is used for both Sam and Beth.)  

= 4/9 * 54

= £ 24

Beth will receive £ 24
