Answer:

Dividing 28 in the ratio 2:5 will give;

$8\colon20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 28 is to be divided into two, in the ratio 2:5.

$2\colon5$

The first share would be;

$\begin{gathered} (2)/(2+5)*28 \\ =(2)/(7)*28 \\ =8 \end{gathered}$

The second share would be;

$\begin{gathered} (5)/(7)*28 \\ =5*4 \\ =20 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, dividing 28 in the ratio 2:5 will give;

$8\colon20$
