Answer:

108,333.3, 130,000, and 151,666.7

Explanation:

To share in a ratio of 5:6:7, lets start by imagining how many parts 5:6:7 represents by adding the three numbers: (5+6+7) = 18 parts. If we had 18 equal amounts, it would be easy to distribute them:

Jim: 5

Jill : 6

Me: 7 [Assuming this is in $]

18 portions

So lets divide 390,00 by 18:

(390,000/18) = 21,666.67

Jim: 5 108,333.3

Jill : 6 130,000

Me: 7 151,666.7

18 parts 390,000
