Explanation:

Because of the 4:1 ratio, the cumulative number of pieces taken into account in that ratio is 4 + 1 = 5.

There is a total amount of money of $150 and 5 pieces.

150/5 = $30 is a single component number.

We know that Ivan consists of four pieces, while Tanya consists of one piece of $120 and 30.

As a result, we now split the amount of Ivan into the amount of Tanya: Ivan has 4 times more than Tanya, so Ivan has 4 times more money.

Hope that works!

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Ratio = 4 : 1

Let

Ivan's share = 4x

Tanya's share = 1x

So,

4x + 1x = £ 150

5x = 150

Divide both sides by 5

x = 150 / 5

x = 30

So,

Ivan's share = 4(30) = £ 120

Tanya's share = 1(30) = £ 30

Also,

Ivan has £ 90 more than that of Tanya.


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
