Solution

Let's break this down:

  1. Initially, Miko and Keddy had money in the ratio 6:1. Let's assume Miko had 6x and Keddy had x.

  2. Miko gave half of her money to Keddy. So, Miko is left with 6x/2 = 3x and Keddy now has x + 3x = 4x.

  3. Now, the ratio of the amount of money Miko had left to the amount of money Keddy had in the end is 3x:4x.

  4. Simplifying this ratio by dividing both sides by x gives us 3:4.

So, the ratio of the amount of money Miko had left to the amount of money Keddy had in the end is 3:4.
