Divide £56 in a ratio of 3:4

We first need to add the two parts of the ratio to find the total number of parts:

3 + 4 = 7 parts

We then need to divide the £56 by the total number of parts:

56/7 = 8

We can then work out the new ratio by multiplying both sides by 8:

3*8:4*8

This gives an answer of:

£24:£32

(You check this is correct by adding the two sides and seeing if they add up to £56)
