Paisley Hill · Answer 1

Jayden: $28 Caden: $70

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 2+5+4 = 11, so each one stands for ...

$154/11 = $14

Then the money is divided as ...

Jayden : Caden : Rayden = 2 : 5 : 4 = $28 : $70 : $56

Jayden gets $28; Caden gets $70.

Danny Morrison · Answer 2

2 + 5 + 4 = 11

154/11 = 14

Jayden gets 14 * 11 = $28

Caden gets 5 * 14 = $70

Rayden gets 4 * 14 = $56
