If Melanie get's 4.10$, then Jacob get's 20.50$.

We can divide to get the unit rate:

20.50 ÷ 4.10 = 5

This means that if Jacob gets 5$, then Melanie will get 1$.

So in this case, Melanie get's 1$.

To solve the problem we should know about the Ratio.

Ratio

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The allowance Melanie gets when Jacob gets an allowance of $5 is $1.

Given to us

  • the ratio of Melanie's allowance to Jacob's allowance is 4.1 to 20.5
  • Jacob gets $5.00,

Using the ratio

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Melanie's allowance}}{\text{Jacob's allowance}} = \dfrac{4.1}{20.5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Melanie's allowance}}{\text{\$5}} = \dfrac{4.1}{20.5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Melanie's allowance} = \dfrac{4.1\times 5}{20.5}[/tex]

Melanie's allowance = 1

Hence, Melanie's allowance is $1.
