Left side gets 12.
Right side gets 16.
12+16=28 in total.
When you're thinking of ratios, you have to think of rounds. Let's say I
want to distribute apples... In Round 1, I'm going to give myself 1
apple and give you 2 apples. After Round 1, three apples have been
distributed in total. Now, if I repeat the same pattern of distribution
1:2, after Round 2 I should have 2 apples whilst you have 4. After Round
2 a total of 6 apples would have been distributed.If the ratio is 3 to 4 - imagine there are 7 groups total, and one person gets 3 of the 7 and the other person gets 4 of the 7.
____________________________________________
If 28 is divided into 7 groups, each group has 4 cans.
One person gets 3 groups = 4*3 = 12 cans
The other gets 4 groups = 4*4* = 16 cans
This way is easier for me to do, but go with whatever works for you :)
