Answer 4

79 and 63.2

Answer 5

1/4:1/5 implies 1/4/(1/4+1/5)=5/9
and 1/5/(1/4+1/5)=4/9
142.2*5/9= 79 nad 142.2*4/9= 63.2

Answer 6

I get 113.76 as the answer, is it right or wrong?
here is my method:
1/4 : 1/5 = 0.25/0.2 = 1.25 or 5/4
142.20/1.25 = 113.76

Answer 7

here we have to divide 142.2 in the proportion of x and y
x being 1/4 and y being 1/5
we have to bring the denominator of x and y to same base. hence divide both x and y with (x+y) i.e., x/(x+y) and y/(x+y).Now multiply both with 142.2. this is ratio and proportion topic
you can cross verify the solution as proportions should be added to 142.2
