Question

Share $45 in a ratio of 5:4

Answer 1

Explanation:

To divide $45 in a ratio of 5:4, you'll first need to determine the total parts in the ratio, which is 5 + 4 = 9 (5 parts for one share and 4 parts for the other share).

Next, you'll calculate the value of one part by dividing the total amount by the total number of parts:

Value of one part = Total amount / Total parts

Value of one part = $45 / 9 = $5

Now, you can allocate the shares according to the ratio:

Share 1 (with 5 parts): 5 parts * $5/part = $25

Share 2 (with 4 parts): 4 parts * $5/part = $20

So, the $45 is divided into two shares in the ratio of 5:4 as follows:

Share 1 receives $25, and Share 2 receives $20

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf \$20:\$25}`

Explanation:

The sum of the ratios
`\sf=4 + 5 = 9`.

Divide 45 by 9:

`\sf (45)/(9) = 5`

Now, we just have to multiply both ratio by 5:

`\sf 4 * 5 = 20\\ 5 * 5 = 25`

So, $45 in the ratio 5:4 is equal to $20:$25.
