Answer:
Explanation:
Take the numbers in the ratio
2
:
3
, and add them together.
2
+
3
=
5
We would like to break £1000 into 5 equal pieces; 2 of those pieces will form the first part, and the other 3 pieces will make up the other part.
We divide £1000 into 5 equal pieces:
£
1000
5
=
£
200
So each of the 5 pieces is £200.
The first part gets 2 of these pieces, which is:
£
200
×
2
=
£
400
The last part gets the other 3 pieces:
£
200
×
3
=
£
600
We can double-check that this partitioning is indeed a proper split of £1000 by adding them up, and by taking their ratio.
£
400
+
£
600
=
£
1000
(matches original £1000)
and
£
400
£
600
=
4
6
=
2
3
(matches original 2 : 3)
Hope this helps!
