Question

Gordon, Henry and sarah share £48 in a ratio 2:3:1. how much money does each person get?​

Answer 1

£16, £24, £8

Explanation:

`48/2+3+1`

`48/6`

`=8`

`8 * 2 = 16\\8 * 3 = 24\\8 * 1 = 8`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ratio of the money to be shared = 2 : 3 : 1

Total part = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6

Gordon's share = (2/6) of 48

`=(2)/(6)*48\\\\=2*8\\\\`

= £ 16

Henry's share = (3/6) of 48

`=(3)/(6)*48\\\\=3*8`

= £ 24

Sarah's share = (1/6) of 48

= 1 * 8

= £ 8
