Question: One hundred chips were divided by Ian and Lyle in the ratio 4:6. What percentage of the chips did Lyle have? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The chips were divided into 4 + 6 = 10 parts. Each part has 100 / 10 = 10 chips. Since Lyle owns 6 parts, then he has 6 x 10 = 60 chips. This is 60 / 100 x 100 = 60% of the entire chips. So the answer is 60.
