Question

Caroline and Sarah win some money and share it in the ratio 4:1. Caroline gets £48. How much did they win in total?

Answer 1

Lets get started :)

Caroline : Sarah
4 : 1 4r + 1r = ?
48 : x

4r = 48 ( Caroline's ratio )
Because she got £48 after the ratio division between the two

`(4r)/(4) = (48)/(4)`
r = 12

= 4r + 1r
= 4 ( 12 ) + 1 ( 12 )
= 48 + 12
= 60

They won £60 in total

Answer 2

48/3=12
12x5=60
so they one £60 total
