    Same gets £30 and Beth gets £24

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ratios

    the ratio of sam to beth is 5 : 4

    Finding the amount sam gets

    add 5 + 4 = 9. this value will be the denominator

    = 5/9 * 54

    = £ 30

    Sam will get £ 30

    Finding the amount Beth will get

    add 4 + 5 = 9. this value will be the denominator

    Note : when using ratios the denominators will be the same. (eg the denominator of 9 is used for both Sam and Beth.)

    = 4/9 * 54

    = £ 24

    Beth will receive £ 24

    hence Sam gets £30 while Beth gets £24
