Ethan and Jayden share a reward of $114 in a ratio of 1: 5. How much does each boy get?
1:5 = 19:95
To determine how much each boy gets, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio which is 1 + 5 = 6.
Next, we divide the total reward, which is $114, by the total number of parts:
$114 รท 6 = $19.
Since the ratio is 1:5, Ethan will receive 1 part out of 6 parts, which is:
1 part * $19 = $19.
Jayden, on the other hand, will receive 5 parts out of 6 parts, which is:
5 parts * $19 = $95.
Therefore, Ethan will get $19 and Jayden will get $95.
