Question

Jane and Ken share some money in the ratio 5:3. Ken's share is 16 less than Jane. Find each person's share

Answer 1

Answer:

ken's share is 16 and jane's share is 26.6

Step-by-step explanation:

for fining each share we have to find total share which can be found by following method

total share = ken's share divide by ken's ratio/total ratio

                   =16 divide by 3/8

                   =42.6

total share=ken's share +jane's share

42.6=16+jane's share

jane's share=42.6-16

jane's share=26.6

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 5/3

x = 5/3y .... a

x - 16 = y

x = y + 16 .... b

from a and b

y + 16 = 5/3y

5/3y - y = 16

2/3y = 16

y = 48/2

y = 24

from b

x = 24 + 16

x = 40
