Question

Divide R60 in the ratio 1:2​

Answer 1

In order to divide the amount Rs.60 in the ratio 1:2

We take x as the variable that replicates the 1st amount + 2nd amount = Rs.60

Putting the values into a equation we get

1x + 2x = 60

3x = 60

x =
`(60)/(3)`

x = 20

Hence the amounts are ,

1x = 20

2x = 2 x 20 = 40
