Find the ratio amount of money Toby gets: amount of money Elsa gets Give your answer in the form a : b where a and are whole numbers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

• Daoud's share of the money = £4.50
• Toby's Money : Elsa's Money=1:2

Explanation:

Let the total amount of the money = x

• Toby gets 1/6 of the money
• Toby gets £1.50

Therefore:

`\frac16x=1.50\\x=1.50 * 6\\x=\£$ 9`

Daoud gets 1/2 of the money.

Therefore: Daoud's share of the money

`=\frac12 * \£$ 9 =\£$ 4.50`

Elsa's Share of the money = 9-(4.50+1.50)=£3

Therefore:

Amount of money Toby gets: Amount of money Elsa gets

= 1.50: 3

Divide both sides by 1.50

Toby's Money : Elsa's Money=1:2
