Alice and Samuel split £21 in the ratio 4:3.

How much money will Alice have?

1 answer

First, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio 4:3:

4 + 3 = 7

Next, we need to divide the total amount of money (£21) by the total number of parts (7) to find the value of one part:

£21 / 7 = £3

Now that we know the value of one part is £3, we can multiply this by the number of parts that Alice will get (4) to find out how much money Alice will have:

£3 x 4 = £12

Therefore, Alice will have £12.
