Question

Divide 480 into the ratio 2:5:3

Answer 1

Ratio 2 = 96

Ratio 5 = 240

Ratio 3 = 144

Explanation:

Total ratio : 2+5+3 = 10

Divide 480 among the three ratios

`(2)/(10) * 480 \\ \\ = (960)/(10) = 96`

Second ratio

`(5)/(10) * 480 \\ \\ = (2400)/(10) = 240`

Third ratio

`(3)/(10) * (480)/(1) \\ \\ = (1440)/(10) = 144`
