2. Divide $ 120 between David and Jack in the ratio 3 : 5.

Solution:

Ratio of David’s share to Jack’s share = 3 : 5

Sum of the ratio terms = 3 + 5 = 8

Thus we can say David gets 3 parts and Jack gets 5 parts out of every 8 parts.

Therefore, David’s share = $(3 × 120)/8 = $45

And, Jack’s share = $(5 × 120)/8 = $75

Therefore, David get $45 and Jack gets $75
