Question

Hashim and Hannah must share R144 in the ratio 5:7. How much will each one get​

Answer 1

R41, R103

Explanation:

What is a ratio?

A ratio has two or more numbers that symbolize relation to each other. Ratios are used to compare numbers, and you can compare them using division.

If the ratio is 5: 7, we can use these equations to solve for the amount each will get:

• 144 × 5/7 = 102.857143 (103 rounded)

• 144 × 2/7 = 41.1428571 (41 rounded)

Therefore, Hashim will get R41, and Hannah will get R103.
