Question

Mr castle shares out 32 marbles between emily and zak in the ratio of 3:1. how much marbles does each child get?

Answer 1

Emily=24 marbles Zak=8 marbles

Explanation:

sum of ratio= 3+1=4

Emily: Zak= 3:1

no. of marbles for Emily=
`(no. of ratio)/(sum of ratio)`×total no. of marbles

=
`(3)/(4)`×32

=24 marbles

No. of marbles for Zak=
`(1)/(4)`×32

=8 marbles
