Question

£150 in the ratio of 4:1 need this question done please you smart people

Answer 1

in plain and short, we simply divide the whole by (4+1), namely 150 ÷ (4+1) and then distribute accordingly.


`\bf 150\qquad 4:1\qquad \cfrac{4}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{4\cdot (150)/(4+1)}{1\cdot (150)/(4+1)}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 30}{1\cdot 30}\implies \cfrac{120}{30}\implies 120:30`
