3people win the lottery win £120 pounds. they split it into the ratio of 1: 3: 8 how much does each person get

Let me walk you through my thinking.

1. Find the unit portion.
This means to find how much a single amount equals. We know that the group split the amount into 12 parts. We can figure this out by adding up the parts. 3 + 1 + 8 = 12. Lets divide 120 by 12 so we know how much "1" is. 120/12 = 10. So each part is 10.

2. Give 10 to each person.
The first part of the ratio gets 10 because they only have "1". The second gets 10 x 3 = 30, and the last gets 10 x 8 =80.

3. Check your work
Let see if we gave her correct amount by adding up our values. 80 + 30 + 10 = 120, so we know that we are right.

4. Give units with your answer
We cannot just say the first gets 10, the second gets 30, and the last gets 80. We need to let them know what. So the answer is...

The first person gets 10 pounds
The second person gets 30 pounds
The third person gets 80 pounds

I hope this helps!
Please give this a thanks!

You will take the ratio divide it by the total and then multiply into 120
The First Person
1/12 × 120 = £10
The Second Person
3/12×120 = £30
The Third Person
8/12×120 = £ 80

Well in order to lose a pound you would have to burn 1,500 calories. the more calories you burn the more weight you lose. in order to lose 2 pounds you would have to run 4 hours and 28 minutes.

The answer would he -4,-2 because the points are just on the opposite side. since the x axis is +4 it's going to he -4 and since the y axis is -2 it stays there because whaen rotated it stays in the third quadrant
