Question

Three farmers shared an order for fertiliser between them in the ratio 3:4:7.

Jade got the largest share.
Bethan got the smallest share.
Noah's share was 60kg.
Calculate how much of the fertiliser Jade and Bethan each received.
Jade

Answer 1

45 kg = Bethan's share

105 kg = Jade's share

Explanation:

Let 3x = Bethan's share

4x = Noah's share

7x = Jade's share

Since Noah's share was 60, then 4x = 60

x = 15

3(15) = 45 kg = Bethan's share

7(15) = 105 kg = Jade's share
