Alex and Ben share £520 in the ratio 1 : 3. How much money does Alex receive? *

£130

Step-by-step explanation:

With 'sharing' ratios problems like this, find the total amount of parts of the ratio :

1 : 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

Now divide the total amount of parts by the total amount of money shared :

£520 ÷ 4 = 130

Now multiply 130 by the appropriate value, in this case, Alex's value, which is 1

£130 x 1 = £130

hope this helps :)
