Answer:

46.7 and 93.3 (both 1 d.p.)

Explanation:

With ratio, you can turn the numbers of 1 and 2 to their fractional forms

First, 1 + 2= 3

They can be shared as,

1/3 and 2/3

1/3 x 140 gives the share of the 1 in 1:2

2/3 does the same for its share

They both give decimals

140 x 1/3 = 46.67 (rounded to 2 d.p.)

140 x 2/3 = 93.33 (2d.p.)
