Question

Share 488 Haribo sweets between Ant, Dec and Steven in the ratio 1:3:4. How many does each of them get?

Answer 1

Since Ant, Dec and Steven has the ration of 1:3:4, I can say that the Ant has x number of sweets, Dec has 3x and Steven has 4x number of sweets. So the total number of sweets they have together is =x+3x+4x=8x

 

therefore,

 

8x=488

x=61

So Ant has 61 sweets. You can find the other two, right?

 

Good luck
