Question

Share the ration .....

Answer 1

Tom: £166

Ben: £581

Explanation:

In the ratio 2 : 7 there are 9 portions total (2 + 7 = 9).

£747 / 9 = £83

For Tom:

£83 * 2 = £166

For Ben:

£83 * 7 = £581

Checking our work:

Since the decimals are the same, this means the ratios are equal.

2/7 = 0.2857

166/581 = 0.2857
