To determine how many newspapers Ali delivered, we need to break down the ratio of deliveries among Tom, Abu, and Ali, which is given as 1:4:3.
1. First, we sum the parts of the ratio:
\( 1 + 4 + 3 = 8 \).
2. Next, we calculate how many newspapers correspond to each part of the ratio. Since they delivered a total of 120 newspapers, we find the value of one part:
\[
\text{Value of one part} = \frac{120}{8} = 15.
\]
3. Now, we can calculate how many newspapers each person delivered:
- Tom: \( 1 \times 15 = 15 \) newspapers
- Abu: \( 4 \times 15 = 60 \) newspapers
- Ali: \( 3 \times 15 = 45 \) newspapers
Thus, Ali delivered **45 newspapers**.
