ratio 3:2​

Answer 1

1120
3:2
3x+2x=1120
5x=1120
X=1120/5
X=224
3x=224 multiplied by 3
=672
2x=224 multiplied by 2
= 448

Answer 2

Answer:

A gets 672 and B gets 448.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the common ratio,

So A should get 3x and B should be 2x.

1120 = 3x + 2x

5x = 1120

x = 1120/5

x = 224

So A gets 3×224 = 672

B gets 2×224 = 448
