When you work out ratios, you add the two numbers together and then you have the number of "shares" that are to be divided. In this case 3+4 = 7. So you then have to divide the total about by the number of shares to be given out - 245 / 7 = 35.
Each share is worth $35 so the smaller share in your question (3 shares in total out of the 7) is $35 * 3 = $105
R.

I am not sure whether you or anybody else need an answer to this rather infantile question, but for the sake of 2 points, I'll give it to you:
The ratio of 4:3 gives a divisor of 4+3 = 7 with which to divide the amount to be shared: Therefore 245/7 = $35 is the unit amount. The smaller share(as you call it) is therefore
35* 3 = $105.

ok.
$245/7=735
The smaller share is therefore:
3*$35 = $105

4 + 3 = 7
There are 7 shares.
245 / 7 = 35
one gets 4 x 35
the other gets 3 x 35
The smaller share is $105.00

the smaller share would be 3/7
therefore, 3/7 x 245
=105
Ans.= $105

A line section 30 sentimeters long => ability 30cm divided into 2 factors that are interior the ratio 2 to 3 => ability 2x : 3x 2x + 3x = 30cm 5x = 30cm x = 6cm locate the style of centimeters interior the shorter section 2x =2 * 6 =12cm
