    In the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Division by Sharing

    A certain amount M can be evenly split among n parties by performing a division M/n.

    The first group of six friends earned $45 and they split it evenly, i. e. the same amount goes to each member. Each of them received $45/6 = $7.50 apiece.

    The second group of four friends won the second-place prize of $35 and they split it evenly also. Each member received $35/4=$8.75.

    By comparing both numbers, we see that 8.75 is a bigger fraction of 35 that 7.50 is of 45. Each member from the second-place price will receive more money than the first group.

    We can conclude in the second group the individual members received a larger fraction of the prize money
