Question

divide 391 in the ratio of 1/2

Answer 1

Since we have 1/2 the ratio is :

1 : 2

The sum of the ratio is :

1 + 2 = 3

The sum of the ratios is the whole amount and it is equal to 391

We will have two fractions that is :

1/3 and 2/3

Lets name them A and B respectively.

A gets = 1/3 × 391 = 130 $\frac{1}{3}$

B gets = 2/3 × 391 = 260 $\frac{2}{3}$
