Question

Share 2 kilogram honey between Jack and Jill in the ratio 1:7. Show all the steps

Answer 1

1/8 x 2 = 0.25 kilogram

7/8 x 2 = 1.75 kilogram

Explanation:

Amount Jack gets = (Jack's ratio / sum of ratios) x total kilogram of honey to be shared

sum of ratios = 1 + 7 = 8

1/8 x 2 = 0.25 kilogram

Amount Jill gets = (Jill's ratio / sum of ratios) x total kilogram of honey to be shared

7/8 x 2 = 1.75
