Answer:

133.33, 200, 266.66

Explanation:

GIven data

This is a ratio problem, and we will use the part to all method to get the solution

The given ratio is

= 2: 3: 4​

the total ratio

=2+3+4

=9

Hence the first part is

2/9= x/600

cross multiply

9x= 1200

x= 1200/9

x= 133.33

The second part

3/9=x/600

1/3=x/600

3x=600

x=200

The third part

4/9=x/600

4/9=x/600

9x=600*4

9x=2400

x=2400/9

x=266.66

Therefore the figures are

133.33, 200, 266.66
