Answer:

Explanation:

To find what the ratio would be, we need to know what to multiply 5 & 3 by so that when we add them, we get 80. Let's assume the number we multiply by is x:

5x + 3x = 80

8x = 80

x = 80 / 8

x = 10

Now, we multiply 5 by 10 and 3 by 10

= 50:30

Your ratio would be 50:30

Double check: 50 + 30 = 80
