Question

Divide R5600 in the r
atio 4:5:7​

Answer 1

1st share = R1400

2nd share = R1750

3rd share = R2450

Explanation:

Amount = R5600

Ratio = 4:5:7

Sum of ratio = 4 + 5 + 7 = 16

Share = (Ratio × Amount) ÷ Sum of ratio

=> 1st Share = (1st Ratio × Amount) ÷ Sum of ratio

=> 1st Share = (4 × R5600) ÷ 16 = R1400

Similarly,

=> 2nd Share = (5 × R5600) ÷ 16 = R1750

and

=> 3rd Share = (7 × R5600) ÷ 16 = R2450
