Question

The money capital of the business was contributed by Abam, Emeka and Madu. for every N 3.00 Abam put in, Emeka put in N2.00, for every N4.00,

Emeka put in Madu put in N5.00.
What is the ratio of their
contribution?
​

Answer 1

Abam:Emeka:Madu = 6:4:5

Explanation:

Let's denote the amount contributed by Abam as x

Now, we are told that for every N3 Abam puts, Emeka puts in N2

It means Abam to Emeka is 3:2

Also,for every N4 put in by Emeka, madu, puts in N5. It means Emeka to madu is 4:5

Now, in Emeka to madu, Emeka contributes N4 for every N5 from madu. Let's rewrite Abam to Emeka to make Abam N4 there.

Thus, since Abam to Emeka is 3:2, we can write it as 6:4 and it will still be the same.

Therefore, for every N6 Abam contributes, Emeka contributes N4.

Thus, since Emeka to madu is 4:5, then we can say the ratio of 3 of them is;

6:4:5
