Jim & Gavin share a lottery win of £4750 in the ratio 1 : 4. Jim then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 2 : 6 : 2. How much more does his wife get over their son?

£380

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the initial win of £4750

Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 4 = 5 parts

Divide the win by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£4750 ÷ 5 = £950 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Thus Jim's share is £950

Sum the parts of the ratio shared in his family, 2 + 6 + 2 = 10 parts

Divide his share by 10 to find the value of one part

£950 ÷ 10 = £95 , thus

2 parts = 2 × £95 = £190 ← sons share

6 parts = 6 × £95 = £570 ← wife's share

£570 - £190 = £380

Wife gets £380 more than the son

answer: the answer is 35%

circle area = pi * radius^2

if diameter = 10 then radius = 5

circle area = pi * 5^2

circle area = pi * 25

circle area = 78.5398163397 square units
