Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer :

Largest share = 96 Rs.

Given :

• Ratio of money shared = 1 : 3

• The smaller share = 32 Rs.

To find :

• Largest share = ?

Solution :

Let, largest share be x,

$\to \sf 1: 3 = 32 : x \\ \\ \to \sf \frac{1}{3} = \frac{32}{x} (cross \: multiply ) \\ \\ \to\sf \: 1x = 32 \times 3 \\ \\ \to\sf \: x \: = 32 \times 3 \\ \\ \bf\to \: x = 96$

So, Largest share ( x ) = 96

Hence, Total money =

32 + 96 = 128

• Ratio = 1 : 3 ( 1/4 , 3/4 )

= 128 × 1/4 = 32

= 128 × 3/4 = 96
