Answer 1

Answer:

Sophia got $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Madison and Sophia share a reward of $45 in a ratio of 1:4. how many does sophia get?

To solve this we will simply use ratio;

madison :  sophia

 1            :     4

We will add one and four together (the numbers in ratios), this will give us five, then;

To find Sophia's share, its  simply:

4/5  × $45   =    $180/5  =$36

Therefore sophia's share is $36

Similarly, we can also find Madison's share, to find Madison share;

1/5  × $45     =    $45 / 5 = $9

Therefore, Madison's share is $9

Answer 2

Answer:

Madison gets $9 and Sophia gets $37

Step-by-step explanation:

when you add the ratios you will get 5. Madison ratio is one and Sophia ratio is 4. you put Madison one over the five and times it by $45 .which would give Madison $9. and when u put Sophia 4 over 5 and times it by $45 you will get $36. to prove your answer you can add $36 and $9 and you will get $45
