Hi there! The answers are 12, 18 and 30.

When we split up 60 in a ratio of 2:3:5, we must realise that we have 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts in total.

One part equals 60 / 10 = 6
2 parts equals (60 / 10) * 2 = 12
3 parts equals (60 / 10) * 3 = 18
5 parts equals (60 / 10) * 5 = 30

Therefore, 60 split up in a ratio of 2:3:5 is 12:18:30. The answers are 12, 18 and 30.

~ Hope this helps you!
