Out of 40 chocolates, ram and i shared in the ratio 1:3. how many chocolates did ram get?

So ram had 10 chocolates and i had 30 chocolates

because 1:3 = 10:30

=> 4 = 40

Ram will get 10 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

It the chocolates are shared in the ratio of 1 to 3 then the total is 4

Ram : I

1:3

1 + 3 = total

1 + 3 = 4

Our total is 40, but the ratio stays the same, we just add the variable x to the 1 and the 3

1x + 3x = 40

Combine like terms.

4x = 40

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10

So ram will get 1 * 10 = 10 and you will get 3 * 10 = 30
