To divide 28 pencils into two groups with a ratio of 3 to 4, you can let the two groups be represented as 3x and 4x, where x is a common multiplier. The equation becomes 3x + 4x = 28, simplifying to 7x = 28. Solving for x gives x = 4. Therefore, the two groups will contain 12 pencils (3x) and 16 pencils (4x), respectively.

To divide 72 into two groups with a ratio of 3 to 5, first, add the parts of the ratio together: 3 + 5 = 8. Next, determine the value of each part by dividing 72 by 8, which gives you 9. Then, multiply each part of the ratio by this value: 3 × 9 = 27 and 5 × 9 = 45. Thus, the two groups are 27 and 45.
72/8 = 9 and 3*9 = 27 and 5*9 = 45

There's no such thing as the ratio of only one number. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. The ratio of two numbers is their 'quotient' ... the number you get when you divide one number by the other one.
Divide 28 cans of soda into two groups so the ratio is 3 to 4
The ratio then will be 18 to 10
12 and 21

One set has 21 pictures and the other has 12.
72/8 = 9 and 3*9 = 27 and 5*9 = 45

To divide 48 pieces of clothing into two groups with a ratio of 1 to 3, you can designate one group as the smaller group (1 part) and the other as the larger group (3 parts). The total parts would be 1 + 3 = 4 parts. Divide 48 by 4 to get 12, which means the smaller group will have 12 pieces, and the larger group will have 36 pieces (12 × 3).
to find the ratio divide the diameter by half.
You calculate the areas of two shapes and then divide one area by the other to find the ratio of their areas.
