Hey there, Grade 6 friends! Today, we're diving into the world of partitive proportion – a fancy term for sharing things fairly. Imagine you have a bag of candies, and you want to split them among friends. That's where partitive proportion comes in handy!
Now, let's solve a real-world problem using partitive proportion. We have $56 to share among friends Udandie, Tahir, and Nazhir. Udandie gets $4, Tahir gets $2, and Nazhir gets $1. How do we split the money?
**Step-by-Step Solution:**
1. **Understand the Ratios:**
Udandie:Tahir:Nazhir = $4:$2:$1
2. **Find the Total Parts:**
Add up the parts in the ratio: $4 + $2 + $1 = $7
3. **Determine the Value of Each Part:**
Divide the total money by the total parts: $56 / $7 = $8
4. **Calculate Individual Shares:**
- Udandie's share: $8 per part * 4 parts = $32
- Tahir's share: $8 per part * 2 parts = $16
- Nazhir's share: $8 per part * 1 part = $8
And there you have it, Grade 6 pals! Udandie gets $32, Tahir gets $16, and Nazhir gets $8. Partitive proportion made sharing money a piece of cake! Keep rocking those math skills! 🌟
Try this example: The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. If there are 48 students in the class, how many boys and girls are there?
