Question

Abit has $30.He shares it with his sister in the ratio 3:2.How much money does abid have left?

Answer 1

$18

Explanation:

Let's start by adding 3 and 2...

3+2 = 5

To explain why this works let's take a pizza for example. If you have 3 pieces and your friend has 2 pieces, how many pieces does the pizza have in total? 5 pieces.

Now we divide 30 by 5

30/5=6

Then we can multiply 6 by 3 to get $18

This is assuming he got the larger amount of money.
