Answer:

90 : 135 : 225

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts

Divide the number by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio

450 ÷ 10 = 45 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

2 parts = 2 × 45 = 90

3 parts = 3 × 45 = 135

5 parts = 5 × 45 = 225

Then

450 in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 is 90 : 135 : 225
