Answer:
Explanation:
I hate algebra personally so here's an easier to understand explanation. A ratio is a percent split.
Your ratio is 5:3. To find the percent you'll add the 2 numbers then put the originals over the sum to find the denominator for your fractions. 5+3 = 8 so for one side it is 5÷8 and the other is 3÷8 ---or--- 62.5%:37.5%
So all you do is multiply 240 on each side to find the new ratio.
For example …
62.5% × 240 ---or--- 0.625×240 = 150
And
32.5% × 240 ---or--- 0.325×240 = 90
Now quick tip for 2 number ratios is they ALWAYS add up to the original number. So you diddnt even have to do the second half. You can just find the difference.
