Question

An estate valued at $75,000 is divided among three daughters in the ratio 5:8:2. Calculate the amount that each daughter received

Answer 1

Answer:

If the ratio is 5:8:2, then we have altogether 15 parts of the value (because 5 + 8 + 2 = 15). First of all we need to find out how much is one part of the value, so we have to divide $75,000 by 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

So all I know is that you must divide.

$75,000 / 15 = 5, so therefore the answer is 5!

Hope this helps!
