Question

If jill and katie share 42 chocolates in the ratio of 3:4 then how may chocolates does jill get?

Answer 1

Answer:

jil got 18 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio constants be x,

so, jil has 3x chocolates

katie has 4x chocolates

and we know total chocolates = 42

then,

=》3x + 4x = 42

=》7x = 42

=》x = 42 ÷ 7

=》x = 6

so, jil got 3x = (3 × 6) = 18 chocolates

katie got 4x = (4 × 6) = 24 chocolates
