Ratio

Question 1

If 30 books cost £24. How much does one book cost?

Answer 1

£24.00 ÷ 30 = £0.80

Question 2

Jack and Jill split their wages in the ratio 4:5, with Jack getting the smaller share. If Jill gets £30, how much does Jack get?

Answer 2

Jack: Jill
4:5

                        £30 ÷ 5 = £6,
               So, Jack gets 4 x £6 = £24

Question 3

Split £450 in the ratio 2:3

Answer 3

2 + 3 = 5
£450 ÷ 5 = £90

                     2 x £90 = £180
                     3 x £90 = £270
