Question

Share $240 between Alex and Burton in the radio:
5:1

Answer 1

Alex : Burton

5 : 1

5+1=6

240/6=40

5 times 40=200

1 times 40 =40

= 200:40 this means alex gets $200 and burton gets $40

Answer 2

$200 : $40

(i divided 240 by 6 because there are six parts in the ratio, and got 40. 40*5=200 and the other 40 makes it 240 in the ratio of 5:1)
