Question

Mr castle shares out 64 marbles between emily and asif in the ratio 7:1 how many marbles does each child get

Answer 1

Emily: 72 marbles

Asif: 8 marbles

Explanation:

first lets find in how many shares is the total amount of marbles divided into:

7+1=8

now, lets find how many marbles are in each share:

64/8=8

now that we know that each share of marbles contains 8 marbles, we can find how many each child got:

Emily got 7 shares: 8*7= 72 marbles

Asif got 1 share: 8*1= 8 marbles

Hence,

Emily got 72 marbles, while Asif got 8 marbles
