The ratio of Jay's crayons to Hunter's crayons is 1:4. If Hunter has 44 crayons, how many crayons do they have altogether?
If the ratio of Jay's crayons to Hunter's crayons is 1/4.
That would make Jay's crayons plus Hunter's crayons is (1+1/4) of Hunter's crayons
Hunter has 44 crayons, so they both have 44*(5/4) = 55.
I hope this helped. :)))

Hunter's crays are 4 out of (1+4 = 5) of the total ===> 4/5 of the total
4/5 x = 44
x = 55 total
