Question

Divide £50 in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

£20 and £30.

Explanation:

Sum of the parts is 2 + 3 = 5.

So each part = 50 / 5 = 10

So 2 parts = 2*10 = 20

and 3 parts = 3 * 10 = 30

Answer 2

Ratio 2 : 3

2 + 3 = 5

Total = £50

1) 2/5 × £50 = 100/5 = £20

2) 3/5 × £50 = 150/5 = £30

£20 and £30
