Ratio in which Mr.Jeff divided his money between Jack and Jon = 4:2 Let us assume the common ration to be = x The amount of money that Jon got = $1256 Then 2x = 1256 x = 1256/2 = 628 Then The amount of money that Jon got = 4 * 628 dollars = 2512 dollars So the amount that Jack got is $2512. As Jack got the major or the bigger share of the money, so the answer is correct. I hope the procedure for solving the question is also easy for you to understand.
