Question

Divide £52 in the ratio 11:2

Answer 1

First, get the sum of the ratio. (11 + 2 = 13)

Divide 52 by 13 to find one 'part' of the ratio. (52 ÷ 13 = 4)

Now that we have one 'part' of the ratio, we multiply it by 11 and 2 to get: (£4 × 11 = £44) and (£4 × 2 = £8).

The ratio will be £44:8.

We can check if this is correct by adding 44 and 8 to see if it adds up to 52. (44 + 8 = 52). It does, so it's correct.
