Question

David and John share $455 in the ratio 2:3 respectively.how much money does John get?​

Answer 1

answer-

david and johns ratio = 2:3

ratio in terms of x = 2x:3x

so total money = 2x + 3x = 5x

A2Q, total money = $455

so, 5x = $455

x = 455/5

x = 91

now, david's share = 2x

= 2*91 = $182

john's share = 3x = 3*91 = $273

hope it helps

have a nice day

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total divisions of money=5

Let 2:3 be 2x and 3x respectively

2x=$\frac{455}{5}$ *2

=91*2=$182

3x=$\frac{455}{5}$*3

=91*3=$273

hope this helped.
