Question

Divide 4.5kg in the ratio 4:5

Answer 1

2 : 2.5

Explanation:

4 : 5 ----> 4x, 5x

4x + 5x = 4.5

9x = 4.5

x = 4.5 / 9

x = 0.5

4x

= 4 x 0.5

= 2

5x

= 5 x 0.5

= 2.5

4 : 5

= 4x : 5x

= 2 : 2.5

Answer 2

2 Kg and 2.5Kg.

Explanation:

Total number of parts = 4 + 5 = 9.

So the required quantities are 4*4.5 / 9 and 5*4.5/9

= 2 and 2.5.
