[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-19] [Hit: ]
then 150 × 1/4 = 37.and 150 × 3/4 = 112.(or 150 – 37.5 = 112.x = 150/4 = 37.and 3x = 37.......
Hey guys i need to under stand these things because there in my exam which is tommorow PLEASE SHOW ALL NECESSARY WORKING of how to do these, THANKS!

1)Divide 150cm in the ratio of 1:3
2)Brett mixes cordial and water in the ratio of 1:4. To make 1 1/2 L of mixed drink how much water does Brett require.
3) A right angle is divided into the ratio of 2:1. what two angles are created?
4)And the main one! Amy spends 5 hrs painting the class room and layla spends 4 hrs. If the job paid 135 dollars how much did layla earn if they shared the earnings in the ratio of the hours worked?

1)Divide 150cm in the ratio of 1:3
Method 1
1 + 3 = 4 total
1 out of 4
then 150 × 1/4 = 37.5 out of 150
and 150 × 3/4 = 112.5
(or 150 – 37.5 = 112.5)

Method 2
Let parts be x and 3x
then 4x = 150
x = 150/4 = 37.5
and 3x = 37.5 × 3 = 112.5

2)Brett mixes cordial and water in the ratio of 1:4. To make 1 1/2 L of mixed drink how much water does Brett require.
total of mixture = 1 + 4 = 5 L
in 5 L amount of water is 4 L
so in 1 1/2 L amount of water = 3/2 × 4/5 = 1.2 L water and (1.5 – 1.2 = 0.3 L cordial)

3) A right angle is divided into the ratio of 2:1. what two angles are created?
right angle = 90°
so 2x + x = 90
3x = 90
x = 30
And 2x = 60

4)And the main one! Amy spends 5 hrs painting the class room and layla spends 4 hrs. If the job paid 135 dollars how much did layla earn if they shared the earnings in the ratio of the hours worked?
total hours of painting = 4 + 5 = 9 hr
payment for 9 hr is 135
so payment per hr = 135/9 = 15
Amy get 15 × 5 = 75
Layla gets 4 × 15 = 60
