The answer to this question would be 12 cloth: 36 cloth

In this question, you are asked to divide the clothing into 1:3 ratio. That mean, you need to divide the clothing into 4 parts (1+3), then put 1 part in one basket and 3 parts in other baskets. The calculation would be:

Basket 1= 48 cloth * 1/(1+3)= 12 cloth
Basket 2= 48 cloth * 3/(1+3)= 36 cloth

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

1+3=4

so 48/4=12
