The weight that needs to be divided = 25 kg
The ratio in which the weight needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 25
10x = 25
x = 25/10
= 2.5
Then
The ratio in which 25 kg can be divided = 2 * 2.5:3* 2.5:5 * 2.5
= 5:7.50:12.50
So the ration in which 25 kg can be divided is 5:7.5:12.5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
