To divide 180 kg in the ratio of 1:8, we can follow these steps:
First, add up the parts of the ratio: 1 + 8 = 9.
Next, find out how much each part of the ratio represents by dividing the total amount (180 kg) by the number of parts: 180 kg ÷ 9 = 20 kg.
Therefore, each part of the ratio corresponds to 20 kg.
The ratio 1:8 then represents 20 kg : 160 kg.
So, when dividing 180 kg in the ratio 1:8, we get 20 kg and 160 kg respectively.
