Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their shares be A, B and C respectively.

Given,

5A = 3B = 2C

⇒ A : B = 3 : 5

⇒ B : C = 2 : 3

The LCM of 5 and 2 is 10. Hence, we multiply the first ratio by 2 and the second by 5.

We have

A : B = 6 : 10

B : C = 10 : 15

∴ A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 15

2   Let x be amount shared

Ratio sum = 2+3=5

Betty's share = 3/5x

Ann's share = 2/5x

Also, Ann's share = 3/5x - 60

On equating Ann's share:

2/5x = 3/5x - 60

60 = 3/5x - 2/5x

60/1 = x/5 (cross multiply)

x times 1 = 60 x 5

x = $300
