​

Answer 1

Answer:

400:100

Step-by-step explanation:

Please mark as brainiest

Let the ratio be x

500 = 4 + 1 = 5x

500 = 5x

x = 500/5

x = 100

Therefore ratio is = 400:100

Answer 2

SOLUTION:

Given that:

• Total amount = Rs. 500
• Divide the quantities in the ratio 4 : 1.

Let us assume:

The quantities be divided between two boy.

• First boy get Rs 4x
• Second boy get Rs x

Finding the value of x:

Sum of amount given to the boys = Total amount

→ 4x + x = Rs 500

→ 5x = Rs 500

→ 5 × x = 5 × Rs 100

• 5 cancelled both sides.

→ x = Rs 100

Now, Quantities divided between both the boys:

• First boy get Rs 4x = Rs (4 × 100) = Rs 400
• Second boy get Rs x = Rs 100
