Question

Bob and Dandy shared K500 in the ratio 2:3 How much would Dandy get?​

Answer 1

To find out how much Dandy would get, we need to divide the total amount (K500) into the ratio of 2:3.

First, add the ratio numbers together: 2 + 3 = 5.

Then, divide the total amount by the sum of the ratio numbers: K500 / 5 = K100.

Finally, multiply the result by Dandy's ratio number (3): K100 * 3 = K300.

Therefore, Dandy would get K300.

Answer 2

• K300

Explanation:

According to the question, we have

Bob and Dandy shared K500 in the ratio 2:3

Let's assume that Bob's share is 2x and Dandy's share is 3x

Then, Bob's share + Dandy's share = K500

`\sf 2x + 3x = 500`

`\sf 5x = 500`

Divide both sides by 5

`\sf x = 100`

Dandy's share = 3x

`\sf 3 * 100`

`\sf K300`

Therefore Dandy would get K300
