Question

Share N250,ooo in The ratio 7:3​

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{7 parts=175000}`

`\huge\boxed{3parts=75000}`

Explanation:

The first step in sharing 250,000 in the ratio of 7:3 is to work out the total number of parts. To do this you would add 7 to 3, which gives you 10. This is because you can imagine there being 7 and 3 equally sized rectangles with the same amount contained within each of them. In total there will be 10 rectangles.

The next step is to work out the value of each part of the ratio. This can be done by dividing 250,000 by 10, this gives you 25,000. This is because you are sharing the total of 250,000 among the 10 equal parts.

To work out the value of 7 parts you would need to multiply 7 by the value of one part, which is 25000. This gives you 175,000.

To work out the value of 3 parts you need to multiply 3 by the value of one part, which is 25000. This gives you 75,000.

1) Add 7 to 3.

`7+3=10`

2) Divide 250,000 by 10.

`(250000)/(10)=25000`

3) Multiply 25,000 by 7.

`25000*7=175000`

4) Multiply 25,000 by 3.

`25000*3=75000`
