Liv and Laura win a lottery of £350,000 and decide to split their winnings according to the ratio 3:4. Work out how much each person receives.

the total number of parts of the ratio is 3+4 = 7. liv will therefore receive 3/7 parts of the total amount, so liv will get 3/7 x 350000 = 150,000Laura will receive 4/7 parts of the total amount, so laura will get 4/7 x 350000 = 200,000
