Question

Pip, Angad and Nick share some sweets in the ratio 4:4:1. Pip gets 20 sweets. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 part of the ratio represents Pip's 20 sweets

Dividing 20 by 4 gives the value of one part of the ratio

20 ÷ 4 = 5 sweets ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Thus

Pip gets 20 sweets

Angad gets 20 sweets ( 4 parts of the ratio )

Nick gets 5 sweets ( 1 part of the ratio )

Total number of sweets = 20 + 20 + 5 = 45
