Question

Kwame and Ama shared an amount of money in the ratio 5:4 respectively. If Kwame had GHC 9.00, how much did they share?

Answer 1

They shared GHC16.2

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount shared

Let us call the amount x

Total ratio is 5 + 4 = 9

Kwame had GHC 9

Thus;

5/9 * x = 9

5 * x = 9 * 9

5x = 81

x = 81/5

x = GHC 16.2
