Lets get started :)

Caroline : Sarah
        4     :     1                                   4r + 1r = ?
       48   :      x

4r = 48 ( Caroline's ratio )
Because she got £48 after the ratio division between the two
[tex] \frac{4r}{4} = \frac{48}{4} [/tex]
r = 12

= 4r + 1r
= 4 ( 12 ) + 1 ( 12 )
= 48 + 12
= 60

They won £60 in total
