Answer 2

To divide $25 for 2 people in the ratio 2:3, each person will get $10 and $15 respectively.

To divide $25 for 2 people in the ratio 2:3, we need to divide the total amount in proportion to the ratio.

To do this, we first add up the parts of the ratio, which in this case is 2 + 3 = 5.

Next, we divide the total amount by the sum of the parts: $25 ÷ 5 = $5.

This means each part of the ratio is equal to $5.

To find how much each person gets, we multiply the part assigned to them: 2 parts x $5 = $10 for the first person, and 3 parts x $5 = $15 for the second person.

So, the first person gets $10 and the second person gets $15.
