Question

Divide $70 into the ratio of 2:7: 1​

Answer 1

$14:$49:$7

Explanation:

To solve this question you first add the ratios.

So 2+7+1, which is 10. You then take this number and divide it by 70 to find 1 part. 70 divide by 10 is 7, which represents 1 part.

7 times by 2 is 14, 7 times by 7 is 49 and 7 times by 1 is 7.

Thus you get the ratio, $14:$49:$7.

And if you add 14+49+7, you get 70!
