Richard and Stephen win some money and share it in the ratio 1:3. Richard gets £14. How much did Stephen get?

hi do you need an answer for your question?

step-by-step explanation:

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75

eight hundred an fifty one point four hundred and fifteen

800+50+1+.4+.01+.005

the best estimate is 3 because   8 can only go into 24 3 times
