Divide 1kg into 3 parts in the ratio 4:3:1. Find the largest part.

Answer 1

We can start by finding the total number of parts in the ratio:

4 + 3 + 1 = 8

This means that the 1kg will be divided into 8 equal parts.

Next, we can find the size of each part by dividing 1kg by 8:

1 kg ÷ 8 = 0.125 kg per part

Now we can find the size of each part according to the given ratio:

4 parts: 4 x 0.125 kg = 0.5 kg

3 parts: 3 x 0.125 kg = 0.375 kg

1 part: 1 x 0.125 kg = 0.125 kg

Therefore, the largest part is 0.5 kg.
