Example : 2 oraanges is to be share among two people in the ratio of 1 to 7. Find the amount of orange each person will get

Since, 16 oranges is to be shared among two people and their ratio is 1 to 7

Firstly, sum the ratios together

= 1 + 7

= 8

For the first person

Since the total ratio is 8

Then the first person will receive 1/8 of the total oranges


\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)\text{ x 2} \\ =(2)/(8) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}
