Question

Rachel, Sally, and Fabio share a pie in the ratio 1:2:4. What fraction of the pie does Sally get?

Answer 1

Sally got 2/4 but you can simplify that to 1/2

Answer 2

Let Rachel get x pie , Sally get 2x pies and Fabio gets 4x pies.

So total number of pies =

`x+2x+4x=7x`

And the percentage of number of pies Sally get

`(2x)/(7x)*100 = (200)/(7)=28.57%`

Therefore Sally get 28.57% of pies.
