Answer:

Ravi: 120

Isha: 180

Explanation:

Think of the ratio as parts. Ravi gets 2 parts while Isha gets 3.

But, we don't know how much each gets. This is written as X.

The ratio of 2:3 can be set up in an equation as 2x and 3x.

We know that the total is 300.

$2x+3x=300\\5x=300\\x=60$

Ravi has 2 parts:

2(60)=120

Isha has 3 parts:

3(60)=180
