Question

Brian and Colin win some and share it in the ratio 3:1.

Brian gets £40 more then Colin.
how much did Colin have?

Answer 1

£13.33

Explanation:

Divide the amount Brian gets by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£40 ÷ 3 = £13.33 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Colin gets 1 part of the ratio, that is £13.33

I hope this helps.
