a. 11 : 3
b. 3 : 11
c. 4 : 7
d. 1 : 2

Answer 1

Answer:

c) 4:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ann's share be x

If Mary is getting $33 more than Ann, then she will have x+33

Both of their shares combined total up to 121

So x + (x+33) = 121

2x+33 = 121

2x = 88

x = 44

Ann's share is $44

Mary gets 33 more, so she will have $77

The ratio of Ann's share to Mary's is 44:77

Reducing the ratio to its simplest terms, we get 4:7
