Can someone please help me I am horrible at maths Divide 12 hours in the ratio 3:1

Divide 2000 balloons in the ratio 4:6

Divide 14 cupcakes in the ratio 2:5

Step-by-step explanation:

In some math curricula, you are shown how to work problems like this by drawing a picture. The picture of the first problem would look like a figure 12 units long, with another figure under it showing 3+1 = 4 equal parts. Each of those equal parts represents one of the units of the ratio and also represents 12/4 = 3 hours. Then 3 parts is 9 hours and the required division is ...

  9 hours : 3 hours

I like to phrase this in terms of "ratio unis." 4+6 = 10 ratio units in the second problem, so each one stands for 2000/10 = 200 balloons. That means 4 ratio units will be 800 balloons. The required division is ...

  800 balloons : 1200 balloons

Each of the 2+5=7 ratio units stands for 14/7 = 2 cupcakes. The required division is ...

  4 cupcakes : 10 cupcakes

answer: a.   one is a factor of every whole number since every number is divisible by itself.
