§6.4 Dividing in a given ratio

What does this mean?!

Let's look at a simple example.

Dividing 400 euros between 2 friends in the given ratio of  3 to 1, or  3 : 1, as we say. As follows:

1.      3 : 1  means that there are 4 parts in total, of which one get 3 parts and               the other only 1 part.

2.    one part is  400 : 4 = 100 euros.

3.    one friend gets 3 x 100 = 300 euros, the other 1 x 100 = 100 euros.

4.  check:     300 + 100 = 400 euros.  It checks out!

Task 1:

Divide 500 euros in the ratio 3 : 1 

between two friends.

dividing 500 in the ratio 3 : 1 gives

1. 300 and 200
2. 400 and 100
3. 375 and 125
4. 425 and 75

Explanation Task 1:

Divide 500 euros in the ratio 3 : 1.

1.  there are 3 + 1 = 4 parts in total

2.  one part = 500 :  4 = 125 euros

3.  one gets 3 x 125 = 375   and the other gets  1 x 125 = 125  euros

About making §6.4 :

You now learnt an easy way to solve the tasks.

 Make sure that you 

WRITE DOWN a GOOD CALCULATION!! Use the steps we 

just practised.

Now a little 'language' too, so that you understand the exercises better.

(In exercises 33 and 36 it is said ...)

+ that 'Patricia has babysat' for 52 hours.

   Sounds a bit funny (to me anyway), but it should be clear that she earned         some money by watching over a very young child.

+ that an 'inheritance' is divided. When somebody dies, his or her 

    money goes to the family. That money is called the inheritance.
