• 45 pencils to be shared between Menna and Reena in ratio 1:4.

To find:-

• Number off pencils with Meena and Reena.

$\large\purple{\sf{let \: the \: number\: be \: x.}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{ \implies x + 4x = 45}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{ \implies5x = 45}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{ \implies x = \frac{45}{5} }}$

$\large\purple{\sf{ \implies x = 9}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{4x}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{ \implies 4 \times 9}}$

$\large\purple{\sf{36}}$
