Answer:

Sara- 17

Mark- 51

Caroline- 34

Step-by-step explanation:

1) start by adding the ratios together, so 1+3+2= 6. Due to the order of the ratio, Sara, gets 1 art of the money, Mark gets 3 parts and Caroline get 2 parts.

2) take the total amount of money (102) and divide it by (1+3+2). 102/6 is 17.

3) divide the money by the amount each person gets. Sara only has one part, so she has £17, Mark gets 3 parts so he gets £51, and Caroline gets 2 parts, so she ends up with £34.

4) do 17+34+51 to check it equals 102. ( it does ;D)

As the sine rule states,

A/sina = B/sinb = C/sinc .

in the diagram, there are two identified sides and if you use the sine rule, you can find the opposed angles easily.

there are:

side a, with angle â .
side b, with angle b.

so the answer is C.

if you input these into the sine rule, it would be:

a/ sin a = b/sin b
