    Total parts = 3 + 4 = 7. One part = 84 ÷ 7 = 12. Larger share = 4 × 12 = 48.

  2. 2. Share 70 in the ratio 1:4. What is the larger share?

    56

    Total parts = 1 + 4 = 5. One part = 70 ÷ 5 = 14. Larger share = 4 × 14 = 56.

  3. 3. Share 100 in the ratio 3:7. What is the larger share?

    70

    Total parts = 3 + 7 = 10. One part = 100 ÷ 10 = 10. Larger share = 7 × 10 = 70.

  4. 4. Share 75 in the ratio 2:3. What is the larger share?

    45

    Total parts = 2 + 3 = 5. One part = 75 ÷ 5 = 15. Larger share = 3 × 15 = 45.

  5. 5. Share 27 in the ratio 1:2. What is the larger share?

    18

  6. 6. Share 6 in the ratio 1:2. What is the larger share?

    4

    Total parts = 1 + 2 = 3. One part = 6 ÷ 3 = 2. Larger share = 2 × 2 = 4.

  7. 7. Share 42 in the ratio 1:2. What is the larger share?

    28

    Total parts = 1 + 2 = 3. One part = 42 ÷ 3 = 14. Larger share = 2 × 14 = 28.

  8. 8. Share 70 in the ratio 3:4. What is the larger share?
