�125 shared to ratio of 4:1.

�125 is shared in the ratio of 4:1. What is the larger share?

Having dinner with friends right now and...no one else know the answer either...!!

Are you trying to split the bill?
Split the �125 into 5 parts of �25 each. One person gets 4 parts (�100), the other gets one part (�25). What's the problem- too much wine?

�100 ?

It has been a long time since i did ratios at school but as i remember this is how you work them out

To work out ratios you need to divide the total value (�125) by the number in the ratios (5) so it would �125 / 5 = �25

4 x �25 = �100
1 x �25 = �25

so 4:1 = �100:�25

Hope this helps!

if the ratio is 4:1 then there are five shares.
each of �25.00
presumably as it is shared to this ratio the bigger (4 parts) share is �100.
