Question

Natsha and andy are given some money in the ratio 5:3

a if andy recives 24 pound how much will nastsha recive

Answer 1

Natasha will receive 40 pounds.

Explanation:

Let's call the amount of money Natasha receives "x".

According to the problem, the ratio of the amount of money Natasha receives to the amount of money Andy receives is 5:3.

So we can set up the equation:

5/3 = x/24

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

3x = 5 * 24

3x = 120

x = 40
