Question

Zoe and Hannah share tips in the ratio 3:7. Last week, Zoe received £24. How much did Hannah receive last week?​

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

If the ratio of Zoe; Hannah is 3:7 and Zoe got 24 than we have to divide the 24 by 3 so we can multiply it by 7. This is because since the Zoe is the 3 and it isn't a 1 it isn't the starting point for either of the ratios we cannot multiply the 24 by 7.

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Now we multiply the 8 by 7 so that we know have many tips Hannah made

8 × 7 = 56

Hannah made 56 in tips

Answer 2

Hannah received £56 last week

Explanation:

Zoe as a ratio of 3 of the tips that was shared with Hannah. if Zoe received £24 for are share of ratio 3, therefore, 1 share ratio is £24/3 = £8.

Since Hannah has 7 share ratio of the tip, and 1 share ratio is £8, therefore, Hannah will receive £8*7 = £56

Therefore Zoe and Hannah share the total ratio of the tips which is 3+7 = 10.

And the total tips shared is £8*10 = £80
