Yes, what follows is right. Jacob and Aiden share a reward of $60 in a ratio of 4:2. What fraction of the total reward does Jacob get? 4x + 2x = $60 6x = $60 60/6 = 10 => x = 10 4(10) = 40 Jacob gets 40/60 = 2/3

A ratio of 4:2 means that one person gets 4 out of 6 parts, and the other gets 2 out of 6. If the reward is $60, then each of the 6 parts is worth 60/6 = 10. If Jacob gets 4 of the parts, he receives 4*10 = $40 and Aiden gets the other 2 or $20

2/3 is right.
