Question

Harrison, Anny and Ekua shared GH4000 in the ratio 1:3:6 calculate each person's share

​

Answer 1

To calculate each person's share, we first add up the parts of the ratio, which is 1+3+6=10.

Next, we divide the total amount shared, GH4000, by the ratio sum (10):

GH4000/10= GH400

Finally, to find each person's share, we multiply the ratio part by GH400:

- Harrison's share: 1 part out of 10 parts = 1/10 * GH4000 = GH400

- Anny's share: 3 parts out of 10 parts = 3/10 * GH4000 = GH1200

- Ekua's share: 6 parts out of 10 parts = 6/10 * GH4000 = GH2400

Therefore, Harrison's share is GH400, Anny's share is GH1200, and Ekua's share is GH2400.
