Step by step please

Thank you asap

Answer 1

Jaden gets $45

Explanation:

2:5 is a part to part ratio, which means that there are seven parts. (2+5=7)

There are seven parts of 9 in 63. (63/7=9)

Charles gets two of those parts and Jaden gets 5 of those parts, so Charlies gets two 9s, and Jaden gets five 9s.

Charlie: 2 x 9 = 18

Jaden: 5 x 9 = 45
