Question

Divide 28 cans of soda into two groups so the ratio is 3 to 4.

Answer 1

Answer:
The first group would have 12 cans
The second group would have 16 cans

Explanation:
We know that the total number of cans in 28 and that the ratio between the two groups is 3:4

This means that:
If the first group has 3x cans, then the second group would have 4x cans.

Now, we would solve for x:
3x + 4x = 28
7x = 28
x = $\frac{28}{7}$
x = 4 cans

Therefore:
The first group would have 3x = 3(4) = 12 cans
The second group would have 4x = 4(4) = 16 cans

Hope this helps :)
