A property worth 10480 is shared between a widow and her 10 children in a ratio 1:4. The children shared their portion equally. Find each child's share

838.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 4 = 5 parts

Divide 10480 by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio

10480 : 5 = 2096 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 * 2096 = 8384

Divide 8384 by 10 to find each child's share

8384 : 10 = 838.40
