Answer 1

Answer:

4:5

5 is the largest share of bread

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:

Let us assume the basic constant as x.

If divided in 4:5 Ratio,

• 4x is one constant
• 5x is one constant

So, we can say that:-

5x+4x = 540

9x = 540

x = 540/9

x = 60 is basic constant.

• Now multiplying it by 5.

5x = 5*60 = 300 breads

• Now multiplying by 4,

4x = 4*60 = 240 breads

As 300> 240 , so 5x ratio has the greatest share of the breads. (Out of 540).

Things to Note:-

• Always take assumptions such as x in Ratio questions
• This helps to make equations easily
• Do not forget to multiply or divide the constant with the coefficient factor
• 2 unknown factors in this question is not preferred as it will make the answer to much complex.
• And also only one statement is given, so 2 variables os not possible.
