Answer:

12 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a basket of laundry is being separated.

We have to divide 48 pieces of clothing into 2 groups so that their  ratio 1:3.

Let 48 is divided into x and y

According to question

[tex]x+y=48[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1}{3}y[/tex]

Substitute the value of x

Then, we get

[tex]\frac{1}{3}y+y=48[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y+3y}{3}=48[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4y}{3}=48[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{48\times 3}{4}=36[/tex]

Substitute the value of y then, we get

[tex]x+36=48[/tex]

[tex]x=48-36=12[/tex]

Hence, the 48 divided into 12 and 36.
