ms johnson and ms smith were folding report cards to send home to parents. the ratio of the number of report cards ms johnson folded to the number of report cards ms smith folded is 2:3. At the end of the day , ms Johnson and ms smith folded at total of 300 report cards. How many did each person fold?

Answer 1

First you would divide 300 by 5, you would add 2 and 3 together, to get 60. Then multiply 2 and 3 by 60 and you would get 120 and 180. Add those two together and you will get 300. So Ms. Johnson folded 120 report cards while Ms. Smith folded 180 report cards.
