Question

mr. jose divided his money the ratio of 5:2between Brian and Bogie. Brian got the smaller amount of $156. How much did Bogie Receive?

Answer 1

Since we know the ratio is 5:2, brian got the lesser and his amount was 156, if we divide 156 by 2, we get 1/5th the value of Bogie's amount. 156/2 is 78, so multiply 78 by 5 and we get 390. Our ratio becomes 390:156, and 390 is your answer
