Question

Divide number 1080 into two parts in a ratio of 4:1

Answer 1

4x+x=1080
5x=1080
x=216
4x=864
216 and 864

Answer 2

Here the number is 1080.

We need to divide this in a ratio of 4:1.

This means we have to divide it in 5 parts.

The first part is 4 parts out of 5 parts

So we have

$\frac{4}{5} (1080)=864$

The second part is 1 part out of 5 parts

So we have

$\frac{1}{5} (1080)=216$

Now

864 + 216 = 1080

Our division is correct.

The two parts in a ratio of 4:1 are 864 & 216.
