Madison and sophia share a reward of $45 in a ratio of 1:4. how many does sophia get?

Madison gets $9 and Sophia gets $37

Step-by-step explanation:

when you add the ratios you will get 5. Madison ratio is one and Sophia ratio is 4. you put Madison one over the five and times it by $45. which would give Madison $9. and when u put Sophia 4 over 5 and times it by $45 you will get $36. to prove your answer you can add $36 and $9 and you will get $45

Sophia got $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Madison and Sophia share a reward of $45 in a ratio of 1:4. how many does sophia get?

To solve this we will simply use ratio;

madison : sophia

1 : 4

We will add one and four together (the numbers in ratios), this will give us five, then;

To find Sophia's share, its simply:

4/5 * $45 = $180/5 = $36

Therefore sophia's share is $36

Similarly, we can also find Madison's share, to find Madison share;

1/5 * $45 = $45 / 5 = $9

Therefore, Madison's share is $9
