Question

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1
work out how much more Ivan gets compared to Tanya

Answer 1

4 times as the ratio is 4:1

Answer 2

Answer:

let ratio divide into two parts 4X,X

According to the question

4X + X = £150

5X =£150

therefore X= 150/5

X=30

since Ivan's part is 4X = 4*30=120

tanya's part is just X's so gets only 30

so Ivan gets £90 more than Tanya
