Answer:
8 : 24 : 24
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you mean to break up 56 into a ratio of 1 : 3 : 3.
A ratio of 1 : 3 : 3 is also a ratio of 1x : 3x : 3x.
The total is 1x + 3x + 3x = 7x
The total is also 56.
7x = 56
x = 8
Using x = 8, then 1x : 3x : 3x = 1(8) : 3(8) : 3(8) = 8 : 24 : 24
Answer: 8 : 24 : 24
