Question

Tim and Ollie share some money in the ratio 2:5

Tim gets £80
Work out how much Ollie gets.​

Answer 1

£200

Explanation:

The ratio is 2:5

we then have

80:x

Because one side of the ratio was multiplied by 40 we have to do the same to the other

20*5=200

therefore our new ratio is

80:200

Ollie gets £200
