Answer:
Sam gets £30 and Bethan gets £24.
Why?
When dealing with ratios, add up the numbers in the ratio.
5 + 4 = 9
Now, divide the total amount of money by that number.
£54/9 = 6
Now you have the base rate. Multiply each quantity in the ratio by this number.
5*6 = 30
4*6 = 24
Now, the ratio is (in euro) 30:24. This means that Sam has £30 and Bethan has £24.
Check:
30 + 24 = 54
