To divide 240g in the ratio 5:3:4, we need to find out the total number of parts of the ratio:
5 + 3 + 4 = 12
Now, we can find the value of one part of the ratio by dividing the total quantity by the total number of parts:
240g ÷ 12 = 20g
So, one part of the ratio is equal to 20g.
To find the quantities of each part of the ratio, we multiply the value of one part by the respective ratio number:
5 parts x 20g = 100g (for the first part)
3 parts x 20g = 60g (for the second part)
4 parts x 20g = 80g (for the third part)
Therefore, the quantities of 240g divided in the ratio 5:3:4 are 100g, 60g, and 80g respectively.
