Question

Divide 144g in the ratio 7: 11​

Answer 1

Answer:

56g and 88g

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+11x=144

18x=144

x=144/18

x=8

7x=7*8=56g

11x=11*8=88g

Answer 2

Answer:

88:56 = 11:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One

Add the two ratios together 11 + 7 = 18

Now set up a ratio to solve for 11 parts out of 18

11:18 = x:144         Proportion

11 / 18 = x / 144    Equation: Cross mulitiply

11*144 = 18x         Combine the left side

1584   = 18x         Divide by 18

1584 / 18  = x

88 = x

That is the larger amount (11 is larger than 7)

Find the smaller amount

144 - 88 = 56

The two amounts are in the ratio of 11:7

88:56 = 11:7
