Answer:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

share was $60. How much did Renate receive

The sharing ratio was 5 to 3:, Silva would get 5 portions and Renate 3 portions.

in fraction form, Silva would get 5/8 while Renate would get 3/8

If Silva got $60, Renate would get?

5/8 = 60: then 3 /8= 60/5 x 3

=12 x 3

=$36
