Question

$4000 is divided between three children in the ratio 2:3:5.
How much does each child receive?​

Answer 1

Okay so here is how it works:

Because 2:3:5 is the ratio 10 is the total because 2+3+5 is 10 right?

You therefore equate 10 to 4000

10=4000

so if 10 is equal to 4000 what about 2,3 or 5?

2/10×4000=800

3/10×4000=1200

5/10×4000=2000

Hope this anwered your question
