Answer:

Explanation:

Let's assume A is 5, and B is 3 (so A:B is 5:3)


A is 5 parts, and B is 3 parts, so there are a total of 8 parts.

These 8 parts are R24000, so each part is worth 24000 : 8 = 3000.

A = 3000 x 5 = 15000.
B = 24000 - 15000 = 9000

So, 24000 shared in the ratio 5:3 is 15000 and 9000.
