Answer 1

Let money divided be $x.
Then, Jon got $x/2
And, Jack got $ x/4
Jon got $ 1256
1256=x/2
x=1256*2
x=$ 2512
Jack will get $ x/4=2512/4= $ 628

Answer 2

THE SMALLER AMOUNT IS $1256
THEREFORE THE SMALLER RATIO IS , THE SMALLER AMOUNT

X=628
THEREFORE THE AMOUNT JACK RECIEVED IS 4X
THEREFORE 4*628= 2512
