Question

Share these amounts between Lin and Kuan-yin in the ratio given
$35 in the ratio 2 : 3

Answer 1

Lin would get $14

Kuan-yin would get $21

Explanation:

In the ratio 2:3 there are 5 total parts (2 left and 3 right) so you divide the total ($35) by 5. This would give you 7, now you multiply 7 by 2 ($14) and 7 by 3 ($21).

Answer 2

2:3=14:21

Explanation:

2+2=5

35/5=7

7*2=14

7*3=21
