If 320.00 was shared among three boys in the ratio 4:5:7,what is the smallest share?

Answer 1

Answer:

Smallest share = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 4x : 5x : 7x

Given

4x + 5x + 7x = 320

16x = 320

x = 20

Now

Smallest share = 4x = 4 ( 20)

= 80

Other shares = 5x = 100

= 7x = 140

Total = 80 + 100 + 140

= 320
