1. How much does Jake get?

Known :

Ratio = Issy : Jake = 5 : 3

Issy's money = £30

Asked :

Jake's money = ...?

Answer :


(5)/(3) = (issy)/(jake) \\ (5)/(3) = (30)/(jake) \\ jake = (3 * 30)/(5) \\ jake = 3 * 6 \\ jake = 18

So, Jake gets £18

2. How much does Kate get?

Known :

Ratio = Kate : Lee = 1 : 5

Lee's money = £80

Asked :

Kate's money = ...?

Answer :


(1)/(5) = (kate)/(lee) \\ (1)/(5) = (kate)/(80) \\ kate = (80 * 1)/(5) \\ kate = 16

So, Kate gets £16

Hope it helpful and useful :)
