Step-by-step explanation:

Madison and Sophia share a reward of $45 in a ratio of 1:4. how many does sophia get?

To solve this we will simply use ratio;

madison :  sophia

 1            :     4

We will add one and four together (the numbers in ratios), this will give us five, then;

To find Sophia's share, its  simply:

4/5  × $45   =    $180/5  =$36

Therefore sophia's share is $36

Similarly, we can also find Madison's share, to find Madison share;

1/5  × $45     =    $45 / 5 = $9

Therefore, Madison's share is $9
