  2. 2. Share 60 in the ratio 3:7. What is the larger share?

    42

    Total parts = 3 + 7 = 10. One part = 60 ÷ 10 = 6. Larger share = 7 × 6 = 42.

  3. 3. Share 14 in the ratio 3:4. What is the larger share?

    8

    Total parts = 3 + 4 = 7. One part = 14 ÷ 7 = 2. Larger share = 4 × 2 = 8.

  4. 4. Share 120 in the ratio 3:7. What is the larger share?

    84

    Total parts = 3 + 7 = 10. One part = 120 ÷ 10 = 12. Larger share = 7 × 12 = 84.

  5. 5. Share 50 in the ratio 3:7. What is the larger share?

  6. 6. Share 32 in the ratio 1:3. What is the larger share?

    24

    Total parts = 1 + 3 = 4. One part = 32 ÷ 4 = 8. Larger share = 3 × 8 = 24.

  7. 7. Share 60 in the ratio 1:4. What is the larger share?

    48

    Total parts = 1 + 4 = 5. One part = 60 ÷ 5 = 12. Larger share = 4 × 12 = 48.

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