Question

Divide 40 into the ratio 9:1

Answer 1

I think the answer is 36

Explanation:

You add 9 and 1 to get 10 and then you divide 40 by 10 and get 4 and then you multiple 9 and 4 to get 36.

Answer 2

36 : 4

Explanation:

40 divided into ratio 9:1 is like 40 / (9 + 1) multiplied to both sides of 9:1

40 / (9 + 1) = 4, and if you multiply both sides by 4, you get 36 : 4
