Question

Jayden and Caden share a reward of $140 in a ratio of 2 : 5. What fraction of the total
reward does Jayden get?

Answer 1

let the reward for jayden be 2x &

reward for caden be 5x

according to conditon

2x+5x=140

7x=140

x=140/7

x=20

reward for jayden=2x=2×20=40

reward for caden=5x=5×20=100

Answer 2

the ratio of reward share by Jayden and carden is 2:5
let x be the common multiple
as per given condition
$2x + 5x = 140$
$7x = 140$
$x = 140 \div 7$

$x = 20$

reward shared my jeyden=2x=2(20)=$40
