Step-by-step explanation:

the numbers : x, y

x + y = 8

x = y - 4

we use the second equation in the first :

y - 4 + y = 8

2y - 4 = 8

2y = 12

y = 6

x = y - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

A basket of laundry is being separated. Divide 48 pieces into 2 clothing groups so the ratio is 1 to 3

KiRa [710]

$\bf 48\qquad 1:3\qquad \cfrac{1}{3}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{1\cdot \frac{48}{1+3}}{3\cdot \frac{48}{1+3}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 12}{3\cdot 12}\implies \cfrac{12}{36}$

btw, don't put the shirts in the same bundle as the socks, you may end up with an unwanted perfume.
