Question

Mrs Perry shares out 15 biscuits between Gemma and Zak in the ratio 1:2

How many biscuits does each child get?

Answer 1

okay so the ration is 1:2 so that would look something like this, 1x + 2x = 15 3x = 15 3x/3. 15/3 x = 5 Gemma. 1x, Zak = 2x so Gemma = 5 biscutis and Zak = 10 biscutis.

Hope this helped you!

Answer 2

1x + 2x = 15 3x = 15 3x/3 = 15/3 x = 5 Gemma = 1x, Zak = 2x therefore Gemma = 5 and Zak = 10
