First add up the total number of parts = 3+4 = 7 Now divide 28 by 7 = 4 (each part is 4) Now substitute into the ratio= 3 4: 4 4 = 12:16
Hope this helps! :)
3 x + 4 x = 28 7 x = 28 x = 4 3 x = 12 4 x = 16
To divide 28 in the ratio 3:4, you first calculate the total parts (7), then find the value of each part (4). Multiplying gives you 12 for the first part and 16 for the second part, which check out to add up to 28.
