To divide £1530 in the ratio 5 : 12, we need to use the formula:
(part/whole) = (ratio/sum of ratios)

The sum of the ratios is 5 + 12 = 17

So, we can use the formula to find the first part:
(part 1/£1530) = (5/17)

Multiply both sides of the equation by £1530 to find the first part:
part 1 = (5/17) * £1530 = £450

To find the second part, we can subtract the first part from the whole:
part 2 = £1530 - £450 = £1080

So, £1530 divided in the ratio 5 : 12 is £450 and £1080
