Mr. jeff divided his money in the ratio 4:2 between Jon and jack Jon got the smaller amount of $1,256 how much did jack get?

Ratio in which Mr. Jeff divided his money between Jack and Jon = 4:2

Let us assume the common ration to be = x

The amount of money that Jon got = $1256

Then

2x = 1256

x = 1256/2

= 628

Then

The amount of money that Jon got = 4 * 628 dollars

= 2512 dollars

So the amount that Jack got is $2512. As Jack got the major or the bigger share of the money, so the answer is correct. I hope the procedure for solving the question is also easy for you to understand.
