Answer 2

Answer:

$240 can be divided in the ratio of 2:3:5 by dividing it into $48, $72 and $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the each share of money be 2x, 3x and 5x.

Total Money=$240

Now we can frame the equation:

2x+3x+5x=$240

10x=$240

x=24

Now each share:

2x=2*24=$48

3x=3*24=$72

5x=5*24=$120

Hence $240 can be divided in the ratio of 2:3:5 by dividing it into $48, $72 and $120. We can also check this by adding the amounts: $48+$72+$120=$240.
