Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

If 700 is 2 parts, then

1 part = 700 ÷ 2 = 350

So 3 parts = 3 x 350 = 1050

Algebraically:

3 : 2 = x : 700


\frac32=(x)/(700)

⇒ 3 x 700 = 2
x

⇒ 2100 = 2
x


x = 1050

answer:

3 parts will be 420

Step-by-step explanation:

total ratio: 3 + 2 = 5

5 ➳ 700

1 ➳ 700/5

1 ➳ 140

solve for 3 : 2

3 ➳ 140 * 3 = 420

2 ➳ 140 * 2 = 280
