Question

$132 in the ratio 2:3:6.

Answer 1

$132 in ratio of 2:3:6 is $24, $36 and $72.

Explanation:

Dividing $132 in ratio of 2:3:6

Let share of first be =
`2x`

Share of second will be =
`3x`

Share of third will be =
`6x`

Adding the shares

⇒
`2x+3x+6x=11x`

Total value = $132

So we have,

`11x=132`

Dividing both ides by 11.

`(11x)/(11)=(132)/(11)`

`x=12`

∴ First share =
`2* 12=\$24`

∴ Second share =
`3* 12=\$36`

∴ Third share =
`6* 12=\$72`
