Answer (3)

The answer to this question would be 12 cloth: 36 cloth
In this question, you are asked to divide the clothing into 1:3 ratio. That mean, you need to divide the clothing into 4 parts (1+3), then put 1 part in one basket and 3 parts in other baskets. The calculation would be:
Basket 1= 48 cloth * 1/(1+3)= 12 cloth Basket 2= 48 cloth * 3/(1+3)= 36 cloth

To divide 48 pieces of clothing in a 1:3 ratio, you get 12 pieces in the first group and 36 pieces in the second group. This is calculated by recognizing that the total ratio parts amount to 4. Each part contains 12 pieces, resulting in the two groups of 12 and 36 pieces, respectively.
