24 ÷ 8 = 3

1 x 3 : 2 x 3 : 5 x 3 = 3 : 6 : 15

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 3, \ 6\ and \ 15}`

Explanation:

Total = 24

Ratio:

1 : 2 : 5

Sum of ratio:

= 1 + 2 + 5 = 8

Divide 24 by 8

= 24 / 8 = 3

So, the division will be:

• 1 * 3 = 3
• 2 * 3 = 6
• 5 * 3 = 15

So, 24 can be divided into 3, 6 and 15 as 1 : 2 : 5.
