Question

2) Mike and Neil share 16 mints in the ratio 1:3. Draw how many each gets in the boxes:
total for mike___

Total for Neil ____
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

mike got 1/(1+3) of total mints = 1/4 * 16=4 mints

Neil got 3/(1+3) of total mints = 3/4 * 16 = =12 mints

Answer 2

Answer:

total for mike = 1x = 4

total for neil = 3x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of mints = 16

ratio = 1:3 take x as common

Thus 1x,3x are the number of mints Mike and Neil respectively  have with each other

total ratio = x+3x = 4x

4x = 16

x = 4

Hence,

total for mike = 1x = 4

total for neil = 3x = 12
