Answer:
7:42
Step-by-step explanation:
First off you add the ratio together-
6+1=7
Then you divide-
49÷7= 7
7 is equal to 1 in this ratio.
To write out the ratio you need to multiplicate-
7×1=7
and
6×7= 42
Leaving the as-
7:42
Answer:
7:42
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add up the two numbers in the ratio to get 49.
Next, divide the total amount by 49, i.e. divide £16 by 8 to get £5. £5 is the amount of each 'unit' in the ratio.
Then you need to divide the total amount using that number i.e. 49/16 = 7/42.
To work out how much each person gets, you then multiply their share by the ratios. Therefore, the answer is 7 yd and 42 yds.
