Question

Divide 500 in the ratio 4:5:1

Answer 1

Answer:

200, 250 and 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the 'multiplier'.

4 + 5 + 1 = 10

500/10 = 50 = multiplier.

So the answer is

4*50 = 200

5 * 50 = 250

and 1 * 50 = 50.

Answer 2

Answer:

200 : 250 : 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 5 + 1 = 10 parts

Divide the amount by 10 to find the value of one part

500 ÷ 10 = 50 ← value of 1 part of ratio , then

4 parts = 4 × 50 = 200

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

500 = 200 : 250 : 50
