Answer 1

Answer:

40, 60

Step-by-step explanation:

100 2:3 Divide 100 in the ratio 2:3 Ans: 40, 60

Answer 2

Answer:

First friend gets ₹40 and second friend gets ₹60

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say you have Rs. 100.

Let the common factor be "x"

2:3 = 2x : 3x

So, your first friend has 2x and your second friend has 3x

Hence,

2x + 3x = 100

5x = 100

x= $\frac{100}{5\\}$

x= 20

Now, your first friend gets 2 portions of x and your second friend gets 3 portions of x

First friend gets-

2x

2 × 20 = ₹40

Second friend gets-

3x

3 × 20 = ₹60
