simple math question...

[skim milk]

how do i divide 100 into 9:3:3:1 ratios?

my brain is fried and can't think straight HAHAHA

i can't figure out he equations to set up.... i know it can be done using cross multiplying

100/16 then multiply by the ratio.

 

[skim milk]

100/16 = x/9 right?

 

[AMB]

(9/16)*100 : (3/16)*100 : (3/16)*100 : (1/16 )*100

Think thats pretty much it?

Take 100 divide by 16. Then multiply the result by 9. Take the result of 100/16 and multiply by 3. Finally, take the result of 100/16 and multiply by 1.
